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.

Stephen Pryce · 11 June 2026 I couldn't remember the last time I'd made a new friend. Then I made one at 41. My friendships had quietly thinned out over a decade, and I'd stopped believing new ones were still possible at my age. A weekly board game night proved me wrong. Bridget Lawson · 18 June 2026 I look after my mum full time. A Saturday walk is the one hour that's mine. Caring for someone you love can quietly erase you. This is about the morning I started walking with a group of strangers, and how one hour a week gave me back to myself. Marcus Bennett · 9 June 2026 I can't do small talk. At a board game night, I finally didn't have to. Parties, pubs, the dreaded "so what do you do?" - I'd given up on meeting people. Then I sat down at a board game night and the talking just happened sideways.
