Local Running group

Hi all,

I'm very interested in joining a local running group does anyone know of any. I have no experience of running so this would have to be a beginners group.

I would recommend the Dulwich Park Runners. They meet every Tuesdays and Thursdays and are a very friendly bunch.

They also run a beginners course. The autumn course has already begun, but I'm sure there will be another one soon.

I was going to say the same. Did the beginners course a few years ago and they are a very friendly and welcoming bunch.

Thank you, i've contacted them and submitted an application to join the next course... woohoo.

Would definitely recommend heading along to one of the local ParkRun events, each Saturday morning. There's one each in Peckham Rye Park, Dulwich Park and Brockwell Park, each at 9am on Saturday. 5km course each time, but there are a range of abilities with finishers taking between 20-35 minutes.

There's no standard, it's free, organised and sociable.
