Sutton Runners

South London running with the warmest welcome going

🏃 Sutton Weekly - Tuesdays & Wednesdays Beginner-friendly Social Competitive

Going strong since 1982 and affiliated to England Athletics, we're the sort of club where parkrunners and seasoned racers train side by side without a hint of side-eye.

Training nights are Tuesdays and Wednesdays from the David Weir Leisure Centre in Sutton, with casual group runs dotted through the rest of the week. People genuinely describe us as one of the most positive, welcoming clubs around, and we race plenty of road and cross country across the region.

Trial sessions are free with zero pressure to sign up - just come along one evening and get a feel for it.

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

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. 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. 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.
