East London Runners was founded in 1982. We are a growing Club with membership currently standing at over 300. We run a distance of 6 to 7 miles and the easiest way to learn about the Club is to come along on a Wednesday evening and run with us! You are welcome to try us out for 3 visits before committing to join.During the summer months we run where possible off road but nothing too muddy. Parks,forest and towpaths etc. During the darker nights we stay to the road. We also have a Monday night track session at Ashton Playing Field, Woodford Bridge, Essex and a long Sunday morning run in either Epping or Hainault Forest. Many of our members also participate in the FREE weekly 5k parkruns (www.parkrun.com) at 9am on Saturday mornings. From January to April each year we also have ad hoc marathon training runs on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
We have many members training for and running in the London and other Spring marathons. We jointly run, with London Fire Brigade, the 20 mile water feed station at the Virgin London Marathon each year.
We also have a Gooup Page on Facebook (East London Runners)
