Running Cards UK

Thinking about all the lovely folks taking on the third Queen of the Suburbs Ultra tomorrow. Last year it was soaking wet, this year it’s a scorcher ☀️

As a We Run Ealing trustee I’ve been heavily involved in the organisation and delivery of the event since we launched it in 2024 but this year it’s in the very capable hands of the brillant - a local, West London events company who are hyper focused on safety and enjoyment for all. They have implemented extra measures due to the warm weather - including moving some start times earlier. If you’re running tomorrow make sure you are aware of the new start times!

A big shout too for and for supporting the event behind the scenes.

I’m not there in an official capacity but will be cheering everyone on including our chair and Ealing Running Mayor and our Social Media volunteer who is doing her first ultra. 🍀

And finally, our ultra card and mug at Running Cards UK has been our best seller this year. Must be the year of the ultra…💪

It’s Edinburgh Marathon Festival this weekend! Best of luck to anyone taking part. Will always be special to me as it was my - back in 2013! 😮

Back then it was a little warm and I was definitely pleased I used waterproof sunscreen 😎

Go out then and enjoy it. Slow down and hydrate a lot the day before. 😊

Massive GOOD LUCK to everyone taking part in today’s - you’re going to have a great day.

We’re right behind you! 🙌🙌🙌

📬Second class is the new first class 💌

At Running Cards UK we have always prided ourselves on getting orders out super quick and that has meant free First Class post for cards in the UK. But times have changed…

The price of a first class stamp is now £1.80, 91 pence more than second class. When we started the business seven years ago a first class stamp cost just 70p. We have raised our prices gradually, mostly to cover increased printing and envelope costs but the price of stamps has just gone ⤴️

After anecdotal evidence from some regular customers it’s clear that speedy first class post delivery is not requirement. In fact, it’s not expected. Since the pandemic, people have become used to ordering well in advance online.

Therefore, from 6 April 2026 all our UK online card orders will be sent by Second Class post by default. For any last minute orders, there will be an option to upgrade to First Class at the checkout.

Shipping fees remain the same for all gifts and all orders outside the UK.

Thank you to all our amazing customers. Any questions please get in touch!

Beautiful location for Portrush parkrun on the beach. Sun, wind and hail all at different times. A lovely (and hardy) team of volunteers. Happy hen to who’s great idea it was to come to for this amazing parkrun. 👰‍♀️
