🏃 Hounslow 2–3 times per week - Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays Social Competitive Beginner-friendly

Sometimes you don't want a 700-strong club - you want around 90 people who'll know your name. That's us, down by the Thames in Chiswick.

We meet Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from Chiswick Cricket Club on Riverside Drive, W4. Monday is an easy 4–6 mile social run that's perfect if you're new; Tuesday and Thursday turn up the heat with hills and speed. Try a few before joining, enjoy summer evening drinks by the river, and have a crack at the monthly club handicap.

Membership's just £35 (£58 to race affiliated), and the running's along the towpath and into Richmond Park. Lovely stuff.

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. Hannah Cole · 3 June 2026 I moved to London for the job. The loneliness nearly sent me home. Arriving in a city of nine million people and feeling invisible - and the ordinary Tuesday evening that slowly changed everything. 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.
