Your venue's run club, up and running

Why host a run club

Weekly regulars, not one-off traffic

A run club meets at the same time every week. Runners who come back week after week stop being visitors and start being regulars, and regulars are what a venue is built on.

Runners bring company

Friends and family who come along but do not run wait at the venue while the run is out: a parent with the kids, the non-running half of a couple, ordering while they wait. Supporters spend for the whole run and the runners spend when it returns. One of them runs. Both of them come.

Proof, not vibes

After each run, two quick questions (how many stayed, and was it worthwhile?) become numbers your own staff recorded. That is the sentence you can take to the brewery, your accountant or us.

How it works

1. 1

   Set up in 15 minutes

   Guided setup takes you from an empty account to a live club page: venue, club, terms reviewed and published, your first weekly run and a reward, finished with a printable QR poster.

2. 2

   Put the poster where people gather

   Runners scan it and join with an email address and a six-digit code. No app for anyone, and no password to invent.

3. 3

   Runs keep themselves running

   Set the weekly run once and future weeks appear automatically. Change a time, move the meeting point or cancel a week, and everyone who RSVP'd is emailed automatically.

4. 4

   Check in with one scan

   Attendance is verified and timestamped. Choose scan-out-and-back-in and your check-in sheet shows who is still out on the run.

5. 5

   Rewards bring them back through the door

   Post-run discounts, active-member perks and milestone rewards trigger on verified attendance. Staff redeem a voucher in one tap, and owners and managers can reverse a mistake.

6. 6

   Watch the numbers

   Members, verified attendance, repeat-attendance rate and redemptions. Four numbers that show whether the club is paying its way in footfall.

You do not have to lead it yourself

Clubs can start without a leader, with the venue hosting and CornerMile handling the admin. When you want someone to front the club, tick "We'd like help finding a run leader or influencer" in Settings and review applications from coaches, influencers and keen runners. You can offer standing perks such as a post-run coffee tab: funded by your venue, shown at the bar and recorded by your staff.

What it costs during the pilot

Nothing, for Liverpool venues (L postcodes). No card. Pilot venues keep their club, members and history when paid plans arrive, receive Founding Venue pricing and earn discounts for feature suggestions we ship.

Outside Liverpool? Wider areas open after the pilot. Join the launch list and we'll email you when we reach your area.
