White Star Running has transformed into Keep Running Rural!
Go to https://keeprunningrural.co.uk/ for all our race info.
We now have a new website with all the same information on, but under the new company name.
Please head over to keeprunningrural.co.uk for everything you need to know about our races.
White Star Running has always been about passion, a passion for running. We love what we do; it’s certainly not a job.
We have a big community of runners of all sorts of abilities, from elites to beginners, from world beaters to casual runners.
A wise woman (my mum) said to me ages ago ‘runner first’, and that’s always been our ethos. We are runners; we listen to our family of runners and work with them to create the races they want
The best way to stay up to date with everything White Star Running is to sign up to our newsletter.
We’ll let you know when races are open for entry so you don’t miss out, share the latest news and kit designs, and keep you in the know with everything happening in the WSR world.

Shop Manager
Nifty Nana Mandy was a late starter to running, until she found the family love of WSR/KKR. Being a bit of an adrenaline junky, she’s done everything from skydiving to wingwalking, plus she has a love of Formula 1 and wine! Mandy can be found in the White Star Clothing shop ready to help runners on race days.
