 40 Years of KADS - 1985 to 2025

 We held our 40th anniversary party on 14 June 2025 at the Stag Inn in Kimberley. It was very well attended by members old and new and was a real celebration of four decades of running and friendship. For videos and photos of the day, click here.

KADS are affiliated to England Athletics (EA).

The Colliers Wood Canter

​KADS are proud to present our established monthly event, The Colliers Wood Canter.
Named after its location at Moorgreen, a few miles west of Nottingham, the club gives runners the option to run either a 3 Km or 5 Km route.
The event is organised and well marshalled by members of our club who devote their free time to ensure that the Canter's legacy lives on.

All the latest from the canter

Working with the Local Community

We are very proud to working closely with our community.

We work with our neighbouring communities with Colliers Wood, Bennerley Viaduct, Kimberley Cricket Club and Eastwood Foodbank just to name a few. 

We host chip cob runs throughout the year which are always a huge hit, and we love to arrange a cracking social night!!

If you have an interest in working alongside our club please get in touch.
