RUNNING CLUBS UNITED KINGDOM

We are a vegan running club based in the UK with vegan runners of all abilities. We support the international vegan running community in a positive, inclusive way — bringing together plant-based runners who care about performance, wellbeing, and kindness to animals.

Members connect through local runs, parkrun meet-ups, races, online discussion, and shared learning about training, recovery, and plant-based nutrition. Whether you run for fitness, competition, mental health, or community, you’ll find encouragement rather than pressure. People join the Vegan Running Club to run with like-minded people, stay motivated, and be part of an ethical sporting community that proves you can run strongly while living your values.

Run Brum Crew (RBC) is a friendly and inclusive running community based in Birmingham. Led by qualified England Athletics run leaders, the club meets every Monday at 18:30 in Chamberlain Square for supportive group runs open to all abilities.

RBC focuses on building confidence, connection and consistency through welcoming sessions that bring runners of every level together. Whether you are starting out or looking for a motivating weekly run, this community offers a positive place to move and meet others.

Mill Road Run Club (MRRC) is Cambridge’s best attended weekly run, meeting every Thursday at 18:45 outside Hot Numbers Café on Gwydir Street just off Mill Road. Each session covers 5 to 7.5k at an easy conversational pace, with routes chosen by members each week.

We welcome all paces and keep the atmosphere relaxed and social, starting at a coffee shop and often ending at a local pub chosen by the organiser. Whether you are new to running or looking for a friendly community, MRRC is a great place to join the miles.

Serpentine Running and Triathlon Club brings together more than a thousand runners and multisport athletes in Central London. The club is based near Hyde Park and offers a full range of weekly group runs from both Hyde Park and Richmond Park. Distances usually range from 7 to 16 km. Members can also join monthly trail runs in the Home Counties and other nearby areas.

Training is a major focus. Runners have access to UKA qualified coaches at the Tuesday track sessions at Paddington Rec in Maida Vale, along with regular hill sessions at Primrose Hill, Greenwich Hills and Hampstead Heath. These sessions are open to all levels and are designed to help athletes train with structure and purpose.

Beginners are welcome. The club offers slower paced groups for new and less experienced runners, along with running courses that help build fitness and confidence.

For triathletes, the club provides coached swim sessions in the pool, group bike rides, and an annual training trip to Lanzarote. Members can also take part in a wide range of races, including the monthly Serpentine Handicap 5K in Hyde Park. The most improved runner wins the event, which keeps it fun for athletes of all levels.

Serpentine has an active social side and encourages members to volunteer at sessions and events. New runners are invited to try a session before joining, and the club offers reduced membership fees for students, people over 65, unwaged runners and anyone under 21.

Progress Running Club is built on a simple idea: running feels better when you do it together. Based in Spitalfields in London, the club blends movement, community, and the culture that comes with an active lifestyle. Whether you’re getting ready for your first 5K or stacking miles for a bigger goal, you’ll find guidance, honest advice, and people who genuinely enjoy the process.

Sessions run every Tuesday. The group meets at 6 pm and heads out at 6.30 pm, offering two steady paces around 5.00 and 6.00 min/km. It’s a space where new runners feel welcomed and experienced runners stay motivated. Show up, settle in, and enjoy the run one step at a time.

London City Runners is a large, multi award winning running community based in the heart of London. What began in 2010 with a small group leaving their bags in Tim’s apartment has grown into a club that has welcomed more than fifty thousand runners over the years. Their goal is simple. Help as many people as possible enjoy the experience of running in the city.

The club meets at its own clubhouse on Druid Street for free road runs every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. They also host structured track sessions on Wednesdays at Southwark Park Sports and Athletics Centre, which must be booked in advance. Their social side is a big part of the experience, supported by their on site bar and a community that has sparked friendships and even marriages.

They welcome runners of all levels, though they recommend being comfortable with a continuous 5K before joining their sessions. Bags can be left at the clubhouse or track facilities, and all details for joining are available through their website.
