What we’re about
We are a bunch of people who enjoy running and socialising afterwards. We are made up of an international crowd ranging from beginners to advanced distance runners (and everything in between). We have 2 weekly regular runs (Saturday morning and Wednesday evening), which both end with us going for a coffee/drink. Our runs are free to join and open to all levels. Disclaimer : all runners run at their own risk - please make sure you are safe and fit to run

December Long Run - The Green Chain Woolwich to Greenwich
House of Denna, 54 No.1 St, London, GBFor this month’s long run we will be exploring part of the Green Chain network of paths between Woolwich and Greenwich, taking in Sevendroog Castle, Oxleas Wood, Eltham Palace and Blackheath. The full route will be approximately 21km along mainly paved or gravel paths with occasional dirt tracks. There is a bit of elevation amounting to around 200m.
We will set off from outside The House of Denna café next to the Thames Clipper pier in Woolwich Arsenal at 10:00am. We will all run together, adjusting the pace to suit the group aiming for somewhere between 5:30 and 6:00/km. After the run we will go for food and drink at one of the pubs Greenwich.*
The start point can be easily reached by the Elizabeth line with Woolwich station just a few minutes walk away. Woolwich is also served by mainline trains and DLR a bit further away.
Please make sure you are comfortable with the distance and terrain as described above. We would recommend you try our shorter runs on Wednesday evenings or Saturday mornings, especially if you are relatively new to running. There will be no bag drop, so please bring everything you need in a small backpack including water and snacks. Please keep checking back for up to date details on this run and update your RSVP if you are no longer able to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!

*Please note that we will attempt to make a table booking for a suitable number of people after the run, but given the time of year it may be challenging to find one table that fits everyone.11 attendees
Wednesday Social Run - Christmas Special
Mercato Metropolitano, 42 Newington Causeway London SE1 6DR, London, GBThis week we will be deviating from our usual Wednesday route, starting and finishing at Mercato Metropolitano near Elephant & Castle.
We will meet by the main entrance to Mercato Metropolitano on Newington Causeway. Our route will be similar in length to the usual one at 7km crossing the river at Lambeth Bridge and back across London Bridge. The amended route can be found here.
Everyone runs their own pace and we welcome all levels of runners. As it is a different route we will try to stick together in one or more groups. After the run we will go for some food and drink at Mercato Metropolitano which has a variety of options available.
There is no official bag drop for this run, but if is likely that we will have one or two volunteers to stay at MM and look after bags. As this is our Christmas edition, festive dress is encouraged but certainly not mandatory!
If you find yourself unable to attend, out of courtesy to the host and other attendees, we ask that you update your RSVP so we know who will be joining us on the night.3 attendees
