Mafia Moves

One rule: just say yes

🏃 Hackney Weekly - Tuesdays & Saturdays Social Beginner-friendly

Esmée started this after learning to walk and run again following an accident, and it shows - the whole thing is a celebration of what your body can do, with no sign-ups and no pressure.

We meet Tuesdays at 6:30pm and Saturdays at 9am in London Fields, Hackney. Walk it, jog it or run it - some push the pace, some keep it gentle, a few walk the whole 5k - and we finish at the pub.

It doesn't matter how you move, only that you do. Turn up solo or drag a mate; either way you'll get a proper welcome.

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Erin Walsh · 16 June 2026 Socialising never made sense to me. At a board game night, the rules were finally written down. As an autistic adult, the unspoken rules of socialising always left me lost and exhausted. A board game night was the first place the rules were actually explicit - and I could finally relax. Claire Donnelly · 7 June 2026 I sat silent at book club for months. Finding my voice there changed my whole life. I'd spent my whole life letting other people's opinions fill the room. A monthly book club, and one patient question, taught me that mine mattered too. Arjun Mehta · 13 June 2026 I optimised my whole life in London. Except the part that actually mattered. I moved here for a brilliant engineering job and built a life so efficient I barely had to speak to anyone. It worked perfectly, right up until it didn't. A running club fixed what I couldn't.
