London Social Runners

There's no better way to start the weekend than with a run in the park with a bunch of friendly people. So join us for our regular Saturday meetup!

TIME: 10am (please note we leave promptly)
DISTANCE: 6.5k/4 miles
START LOCATION: SW corner of Kensington Gardens, just inside the Kings Arms Gate (see pin on map below. program Royal Garden Hotel into google maps for directions).

We welcome all levels of runners, so everyone runs at their own pace, taking between 30 and 50mins to run a complete anti-clockwise lap of Hyde Park. then we meet up at the end and walk together to Whole Foods Market on High Street Kensington for some well-earned coffee and brunch (or to grab treats for a picnic in the park if the weather's nice).

This month we will be heading out to the Chiltern Hills, the spectacular Ivinghoe Beacon and Ashridge Estate which has a fine display of bluebells at this time of year. There are two distance options. The route is a mixture of gravel, grass and dirt trails. There is a bit of elevation thrown in too (about 350m), so make sure you are comfortable with this. We will all try and run together, adjusting the pace to suit the group.

25km Run starts outside Berkhamsted railway station 10:00am.
Lower Kings Road (South) Entrance. Those traveling from London should catch the 09:25 train from Euston and purchase an Off-Peak Return to Berkhamsted £22 (£14.60 with railcard).

18km Run starts outside Tring railway station at 11:05.
Car Park (North) Entrance. Those traveling from London should catch the 10:24 train from Euston and purchase an Off-Peak Return to Tring £22.20 (£14.70 with railcard).

You are welcome to meet us in Berkhamsted or Tring, though we will be setting off promptly at the times noted above. Note that trains are not very frequent, especially to Tring. Please indicate on the message board whether you will be joining at Berkhampsted or Tring.

All of us will finish in Berkhamsted, and afterwards go for food and drink at a pub in the town before catching the train back to London. 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!
