Tuesday Main Run – Our Weekly 5K Social
Tuesday Main Run – Our Weekly 5K Social
This is the heart of the Steamers.
Every Tuesday at 6:45pm, we meet at Stanton Recreation Ground and head out together for a relaxed, social 5K run. It’s the one run you can rely on every single week—whatever the weather.
Our routes are fixed and change with the seasons, so you’ll always know roughly what to expect. Light summer evenings, darker winter loops—it’s all part of the rhythm.
This isn’t about pace or PBs. It’s about turning up, getting out, and running together.
You can expect a friendly, steady pace, plenty of chat, and a regroup along the way so no one gets left behind. Whether you’re just starting out or have been running for years, there’ll always be someone to run with.
Just turn up and join in 👍
Sunday Long run

Sunday Long Runs (…or how they usually happen!)
Our Sunday long runs aren’t always planned weeks in advance… in fact, more often than not, they start with a simple message:
“Fancy a run in the morning?”
Next thing you know, there’s a small group heading out across the Suffolk lanes, turning a casual idea into a proper long run.
Distances usually range anywhere from 10K up to 10 miles (and sometimes beyond), with a relaxed, social pace and plenty of chat along the way.
No pressure, no expectations—just turn up if it suits you.
That’s the Steamers way 👍
Parkruns
Parkruns
You’ll often spot the Steamers out in force at local parkruns, including:
Whether you’re chasing a time or just enjoying a social 5K, there’s usually a friendly face (or a whole pack of them!) to run with.
Top tip 💡
If you’re a regular at Bury St Edmunds (Nowton Park), West Stow Country Park, or Brandon Country Park, it’s well worth looking into a parking season ticket—it can save you a fair bit over time.
