The free app for running clubs in Manchester
Built for running clubs across Manchester — from Didsbury and Salford outward. Schedule your run, see who has actually confirmed, message everyone at once and keep track of club membership and race entries. Free for teams of up to 20.
On the ground in Manchester
Why organising running clubs in Manchester is its own problem
Run leaders need a headcount for groups and pace bands, not just a total. Sessions cluster around the university and city-centre venues, so the same players are often juggling two or three teams a week.
The season works against you
It rains, and the winter block-booking runs October to March whether the weather cooperates or not.
Getting there is half the decision
Squads in Manchester get drawn from Didsbury, Salford, Chorlton and Trafford rather than one neighbourhood, so travel time is part of every yes or no. A confirmation that lands at lunchtime is worth far more than one that lands at six.
Money moves faster than the record of it
In England, money for club membership and race entries gets settled with a bank transfer in seconds. What nobody keeps is the list of who has and who has not — so that job falls to whoever is least likely to forget, which is rarely the same person twice.
What you get
Everything your Manchester running club needs
Know your numbers before the run
Post the run once, wherever it is in Manchester, and every one of your runners confirms with one tap. You see the count while there is still time to do something about it.
One place instead of the group chat
Announce a venue change, a weather call or a time shift and have it stay visible at the top — rather than scrolling away under replies from people in Didsbury.
Track club membership and race entries
Set up what each of your runners owes and mark it off as it comes in. TeamCheck never touches the money — settle up with a bank transfer exactly as you do now, then mark it paid so the list is right.
See who actually turns up
Attendance stats per member, so you know who is carrying the running club and who has quietly stopped coming — before they drift off entirely.

Running clubs in Manchester: common questions
Is TeamCheck free for running clubs in Manchester?
Yes. Scheduling, attendance, chat, announcements and payment tracking are all free for a team of up to 20 members, with no per-player pricing. An optional Pro plan raises the limit to 100 and adds automatic reminders, calendar sync, polls and analytics for past months.
Can it handle club membership and race entries in England?
It tracks them rather than processes them. Set what each of your runners owes, and as people settle up — with a bank transfer, or in cash — mark it paid and the list stays accurate. Payment plans are denominated in USD or EUR. TeamCheck is the record, not the payment rail.
We already have a WhatsApp group. Why change?
Because a chat cannot tell you a number. Clubs grow fast and quietly — the chat hits its limit long before the club does. In TeamCheck the answer is a list you can look at, announcements stay pinned instead of scrolling away, and what everyone owes for club membership and race entries sits next to the schedule instead of in somebody's notes app.
Does it work for more than one group across Manchester?
Yes. Run separate groups — by level, by night, or by where in Manchester they train — each with its own schedule, register and chat, all under one account. People only get notified about the groups they are actually in.
