Run Dem Crew

Leave the headphones and the ego at home

🏃 Tower Hamlets Weekly - Tuesdays Social Beginner-friendly

Charlie Dark started this in 2007 and he'll be the first to tell you it's not a club, it's a family. We split into pace groups so nobody's ever stranded, and headphones are banned - the whole point is that you actually talk to the person next to you.

Find us Tuesday evenings, around 6:30pm, outside the lululemon store at Spitalfields Market. All abilities, grouped by level, with mentoring, workshops and events woven around the running.

As the crew rules go: if you only care about your own PB, run somewhere else. Have a read of the FAQs, then come down and say hi.

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Margaret Ellison · 5 June 2026 At 68, I thought my world had got smaller. A walking group proved me wrong. After I retired and lost my husband, the house went quiet and the days got long. Then a Saturday walking group gave me back something I thought was gone for good. 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. 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.
