Frequently asked questions


How do I find you?


Our main meeting is on Thursday's at 7:30 at the YMCA Hawker Centre in Kingston.

Our beginners' group, The Little Feet, meets on Mondays at the Albion in Fairfield Road also in Kingston.

For details of how to find these venues and our other meetings, look on our venues page


Can I just turn up, or do I have to be a member?


Please feel free to come and run with us, member or not. We welcome runners of all ages, abilities and there is no pressure to join. However- you may only enter our monthly handicap if you are a member and you will benefit in many ways by becoming a member


I have only just started running, will everybody else be too fast for me?


We have a beginners group, the Little Feet who meet on Mondays- this is probably a good place for you if you are just starting out. We always run short distance/gentle pace runs on our Thursday night outings too- just ask!


I'm training for the London Marathon will I find others to train with?


Certainly. We always have 20 or so runners in the London Marathon whose pace varies from 2h40m to over 5 hours. You can find out more on our Marathon page or in the London Marathon's own web site
