Stanton Steamers Social Runners

Join the Stanton Steamers Social Running Group!

Stanton Steamers is a free social running group based in Stanton, Suffolk. While we meet in Stanton, our members come from villages and across the local area, all brought together by a shared love of running and good company.

We welcome runners of all ages and abilities, whether you're taking your first steps after Couch to 5K, returning to running after a break, or already a regular runner looking for company.

Our aim is simple: to make running more enjoyable by doing it together.

Every Tuesday evening we meet for a relaxed social run where nobody is left behind. There are no membership fees, no pressure, and no expectations — just a welcoming group of local people who enjoy getting active, supporting one another, and having a chat along the way.

Weekly 5K Social Run:

• When: Every Tuesday at 6:45 PM

• Where: Stanton Recreation Ground Car Park (Stanton, Suffolk, IP31 2BX)

• Distance: 5K (3.1 miles)

We run all year round—rain or shine!

Why join us?

✅ All paces welcome – You don’t need to be fast. If you can jog, you’ll fit in perfectly
✅ Supportive group – We encourage, chat, and celebrate everyone
✅ Halfway regroup – We stop halfway so everyone stays together
✅ Extra runs – Sometimes members arrange longer or weekend runs
✅ We are parkrun friendly – Many of us appear at Thetford, Bury or Thornham Walks on Saturday mornings (not organised, it just happens)

If you’re nervous about turning up, send us a message on Facebook — we’ve all been there on day one.
