Add More Fun To Your Run: London’s Best Running Clubs

Boring, old-fashioned running groups are a thing of the past, and their replacements more closely resemble some of London’s most sought after clubs.

Made up of trendy, fun and inspiring people, they do more than run as they come together to explore the streets of London.

Whether you run for fun or you’re training for a race, forget the gym and join a running club instead. Here are our top picks:

Leaving from Nike stores all over London, the Nike running clubs are some of the largest and most well known. It’s as easy as joining the Facebook group and turning up for the next run, the Covent Garden and Oxford Street stores even do women only runs on certain evenings. With the backing of such a well-known brand you’re guaranteed some great runs.

Run Dem Crew

Although they may be full for the year, you’ll want to keep Run Dem Crew in mind come February when they open again to new members.
