Overview
We have training sessions most days in the week and every weekend. We do two group runs a week around Hyde Park (Wednesday evening and Saturday morning), track/hill sessions at Paddington, Hamstead Heath, Primrose Hill and Greenwich, swimming lessons, and weekend group bike rides. We also do track-and-field races and trail running (a group trail run every month). We welcome all levels - whether you run 3:30 or 7:00 min/km, you can find someone to run with and have a great time!
We also take part in various races as a team, including cross country in winter (featuring the Met League, the Sunday League, various London, county and national championships), the inter-club Summer League and team relays such as Green Belt Relay and Welsh Castles Relay. A lot of us also do triathlon races - from sprint, Olympic to 70.3 and Ironman.
The Club has an active social side (post-run pub or cafes, summer/winter parties) and plenty of opportunities to volunteer (race marshalling, officiating, organising) and be part of the running/triathlon community on your rest days. We offer trials for our group runs which help you decide if you like us enough to join - we hope you do!
