Want to go out and run with others? Fancy riding as part of a group? I've spotted several opportunities in our local area to get out, enjoy some exercise and socialize.
The founder, Leon Parkes started the group during lockdown and within five years it has grown to regularly getting up to 100+ runners every Monday evening (7pm at Boxpark).
The group, which i have been a part of since Jan 2023 and am now a pacer, is unique as you will get runners of all different types of backgrounds, age ranges from 18 to 70 and a wonderful mix of personalities. Everybody is welcoming, friendly and accomodating, with a huge emphasis on it being a social run.
Beginner runners are the main target along with representation for minorities within areas of Wembley/NW London who traditionally do not normally see runners from ethnic minorities, is a big drive for Leon and his running team.
If you are ever free on a Monday evening and fancy a social run, you would be more than welcome to our group.
Please come along if you are ever free on a Monday evening
Hi Amandine, great article regarding some of the running/cycling/walking groups in Brent/Harlesden.
There is also The Nov Way, a social running group/club based in Wembley Park: https://www.instagram.com/thenovway?igsh=MWtrcmZlZ2d4Mnpwcg==
