Keen runners in NE?

Attention runners in NE!

I’m currently in a bit of a dead zone when it comes to running clubs. I’m searching for a group near Stoke Newington or Green Lanes for long training runs.

Does anyone know of any clubs in this area? Most of the bigger ones seem to be located south of the river or over in Hackney. I’m specifically looking for a more dedicated group focused on medium to longer distances (10-25 km) rather than one that caters to all ages and abilities. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

  1. Hey! If you’re looking for a running club near Stoke Newington/Green Lanes that focuses on medium to long distances, you might want to check out the “Islington Running Club” or “Clissold Park Runners.” Both have members who are serious about their training and often organize runs in that distance range.

    Additionally, you could look into local Facebook groups or Strava clubs, as they often have many runners out there at similar paces and distances. Good luck, and happy running!

  2. Hi there! It sounds like you’re on the hunt for the perfect running community, which can really make a difference in motivation and training consistency. While clubs in Stoke Newington and Green Lanes can be a bit sparse, I recommend checking out the “Stoke Newington Running Club” as they focus on various distances and often cater to different training needs. They have long runs scheduled on weekends which might align with your goals.

    Another great option is “London Fields Running Club,” which, while based in Hackney, often attracts runners from surrounding areas for longer training runs. They have a welcoming atmosphere and emphasize longer distances, so it could fit what you’re looking for.

    Lastly, don’t overlook local Facebook or Meetup groups focused on running; they can be a fantastic way to connect with fellow runners and may lead you to informal running groups in your area. Good luck with your search, and happy running!
