Run South London Community

Run South London is about more than race day, it’s about the people who make it unforgettable and the community we build together.

We’re proud to be part of a vibrant and diverse local area, and we’re committed to creating something that brings people together all year round. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, completely new to the sport, walking your first 5K, or simply coming along for the atmosphere - you’re part of what makes this special.

In a region rich in sporting history and iconic landmarks, we’re excited to introduce South London’s flagship running event, bringing a true big-event atmosphere to the community.

We actively encourage local sports clubs, community groups and businesses to get involved, ensuring the impact of the event is felt far beyond the finish line.

Monthly Community Runs

Whether you’re aiming for your first 5K, a seasoned 13.1 mile runner, or training for anything in between and beyond, our community runs are designed to be welcoming, supportive and enjoyable for everyone.

Each session takes place in a different park within the Borough of Merton, giving you the chance to explore new spaces while meeting like-minded people.

Our sessions are a chance to share knowledge, build confidence and enjoy being part of something bigger. Join our friendly, supportive running community!

What to Expect

Our focus is simple: to make sure you enjoy it and feel part of our growing community.

  • Open to all ages and abilities
  • Friendly, inclusive and supportive atmosphere
  • Mix of sessions and looped routes so no one gets left behind
  • Run at your own pace, push yourself, or keep it steady and social.
