Wednesday Night runs - 7:15pm

Edward Alleyn Club, 83-85 Burbage Rd, London, SE24 9HD

Groups for different paces and abilities, all with a leader.

There is a fee of £1 for members and non-members/Guests to be paid every Wednesday that you turn up to run with the Club.

Please arrive by 7pm if possible to pay, sign in and for us to help arrange who you will run with. Guests are welcome and encouraged to try us out. Our Runs are: short (5 km), short/medium around 5 Miles / 8 km; medium/long around 7 Miles / 11 km; and long around 10 Miles / 16 km. You can run any of those routes at a pace of your choice and during summer months they take in local parks.

Who can join? Dulwich Runners is open to anyone aged 18 and over.

New runners age 18 and over of all abilities are always welcome.
We cater for runners of a wide range of standards and abilities but do require that as a minimum you can run 5 km in around 31 minutes (roughly 10 min. mile pace - 6 min 12 secs a km). If you’re not able to do that just yet you could try Couch to 5k? https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/couch-to-5k-week-by-week/

We also have a member who is trained as a guide runner for the visually impaired.

As a new member we realise it can be a bit daunting at first but don't worry, whatever standard you are we will make sure you run with others of a similar ability.

Location: Edward Alleyn Club, 83-85 Burbage Road, SE24 9HD - free off road parking and a short jog away from Herne Hill, West Dulwich and North Dulwich stations, and various bus stops (serving routes 3, 37, 42, 68, 196, 201, 322, 468, P4). See map below for location.

About us

A local South London running club formed in 1980 still helping runners achieve their goals and have fun across road, cross-country, track, multi-trail and parkrun events!

We have around 280 members of differing abilities who regularly compete in road, cross-country, multi-terrain, fell and track races.

We welcome as members those who wish to run competitively or just for fun and or maintain a level of fitness - looking to complete their first race or improve their personal best in a range of events such as the London Marathon or progress at parkrun.

Normally each year we hold a Club Championship series of races, compete in road and cross-country leagues as well as take part in stand-alone events such as the Green Belt Relay and Masters Relays. We also host a popular midsummer relays and children’s mile fun run in Dulwich Park on a Wednesday evening in June every year. In 2024 this will be on Wednesday 19 June - further details can be found on the link below. Entries will be open nearer the time.

We also have a strong social side to the Club with regular socials, such as pizza nights, curry nights, tap room runs between local craft breweries, quiz nights, Christmas party, as well as our post-run drinks in our Club House.

Tuesday evening speed sessions

We return to Dulwich College Running Track and Grass Fields from 2 April.

These Tuesday sessions focus on speed work and are suitable for all abilities.

From 16 April onwards for the rest of the summer, please arrive from 7pm for a warm up and stretches at 7.10pm before the main session starts at around 7.20pm.

Entry is via Pond Cottages or Grange Lane rather than the gates by the tennis courts which are rarely open. We meet at the green pavilion by the tennis courts which is where you pay. Cost £2 per session (card/mobile app only).

Sunday runs

Depending on the time of year a number of informal groups take part in long Sunday group runs from places such as Dulwich Park, Brockwell Park and Peckham Rye Common.
