Benefits of Looney Loops...

Looney Loops is a free, friendly community running and walking event held at Banbury Rugby Club. You can walk, shuffle, jog or run as many or as few loops as you like — no pressure, no judgement, just moving together.

Nothing! Looney Loops is completely free to join. Just turn up on the day and move at your own pace — there’s no entry fee, no membership, and no hidden costs involved whatsoever.

Looney Loops takes place on the 3rd Saturday of every month, from 10am until 12noon, at Banbury Rugby Club, Oxford Road, Bodicote, Banbury, Oxfordshire OX15 4AF — the same reliable date every time. Come along whenever suits you.

Absolutely — walking is just as welcome as running. Many Loopers start out walking the loops before working up to jogging or running. Move however feels right for you; it’s about showing up, not speed.

The best possible support is word of mouth and bringing a newbie along to the next event. If you are a business looking to support this community project please contact Mark or Karen directly for details. 

Yes, families are very welcome, and children often join in too. There are strictly no dogs allowed except for guide dogs.

Wear comfortable clothing and trainers suited to walking, jogging or running, and dress for the weather. Bringing water is a good idea, especially on warmer days — otherwise there’s nothing else you need.

No sign-up needed — just turn up! Looney Loops is a come-as-you-are event, so there’s no booking, no registration forms, and no pressure. Simply arrive at Banbury Rugby Club and join in.

Not at all. Looney Loops welcomes every ability, from complete beginners to seasoned runners. There’s no pressure, no judgement, and no need to be fast — just turn up, move, and enjoy it.

Yes. There is a small onsite kitchen offering a wide selection of teas and coffees. There might be pastries and bacon rolls available but you would need to check with the kitchen which is run by the rugby club not Looney Loops.
