South-East London’s Running Club

Dulwich Park Runners enjoy a membership of over 160 runners, with a wide range of ages and abilities, from those who simply enjoy their running to keep fit, to those who tackle Ultra Marathons, but most are normal mortals, just enjoying running in a friendly, informal atmosphere.

Based at the Trevor Bailey Sports Club, which is situated on Dulwich Common (The South Circular) opposite Dulwich Park, we meet on Tuesday and Thursday nights for our runs and enhanced training sessions.

Arriving at the clubhouse for 7.30pm, with the aim to be running by 7.50pm, we split into groups of different abilities, with people running anything between 5 and 8 miles at a variety of paces, all of which is arranged informally on the night.

Once you return you can use the club’s shower facilities to freshen yourself up, perhaps before joining other members at our regular monthly social meetings at a local pub, for some well earned refreshment, and some guilt free chips, paid for by the club!

If you like the sound of Dulwich Park Runners please read our Joining DPR page, for details of how to start running with us.

If you’re new to running we have an introduction course especially designed for you, so please see our Beginners page for more information and encouragement.

Rest assured no matter what your ability you’ll be assured of a warm welcome.
