Runner’s World Club is designed to help runners of all ages and abilities get fitter, faster, healthier, and happier via a new package of member-only content, events, and rewards.
The latest in Hearst UK’s successful membership launches – which includes Good Housekeeping VIP, ELLE COLLECTIVE, Women’s Health Collective, and Men’s Health Squad – Runner’s World Club gives members access to the brand’s re-imagined companion app.
Members can unlock a new library of customisable training plans, delve into the latest digital edition of the title, and browse a dedicated members’ space with exclusive interviews, features, and training advice – plus special rewards, offers, and prizes from leading running and fitness brands.
Runner’s World Club membership has three tiers – Bronze, Silver, and Gold – each at different price points and offering varying levels of access to both its companion app and further member-only perks and experiences.
Benefits include access to award-winning training platform, Final Surge, where Gold members can access digitised versions of Runner’s Word full library of plans. The platform allows members to schedule training sessions on their preferred days of the week, push sessions to their favourite training devices for real-time prompts during their workouts, and sync completed training data to track and analyse afterwards.
Those signing up to the top-tier membership will also have access to the Runner’s World team at special meet-up runs and events and have the opportunity to attend live podcasts and Q&A sessions with experts.
Runner’s World UK Membership Director, Jennifer Bozon, said: “We’ve poured 30 years of expertise into building our first-ever Club and I’m so excited for our members to experience our fantastic new offering. Our extensive and ever-growing library of training plans, written by leading RW coaches, is going to be invaluable in helping runners of all levels reach their goals – whether that’s running their first 5K or a sub-three marathon. Plus, thanks to our partnership with Final Surge, runners can now access digitised versions of our plans and sync their sessions with popular devices and apps including Garmin, Strava, and Apple Watch.
“On top of that, our in-person meet-ups will also provide a brilliant opportunity for our community to meet and get to know each other – as well as the RW team – and I’m looking forward to meeting and supporting many of our members at our special events throughout this year and beyond.”
Steve Miles, Portfolio Director – Health & Wellness, Hearst UK, added: “The credibility, quality, and expertise that has underpinned Runner’s World’s content over the past three decades has helped build a highly engaged audience. Runner’s World Club is therefore expertly placed to take runners from all walks of life on an exciting journey that gives them access to trusted advice, content, and events they won’t find anywhere else.”
