From outside the Windmill Cafe on Wimbledon Common, we offer running courses for beginners and improvers and weekly social runs – during the week, usually in the mornings (8.30am, 9.30am, 10.30am) and in the evening at 7pm. We also offer one-to-one training for those who may not want to be part of a group or who would like some tailored training.
The running classes are women-only and for all ages and abilities. They take place during term-time and exclude school holidays, making them ideal for stay-at-home mums, homeworkers, part-time workers and retirees. Ad hoc classes and one-to-ones are available in the holidays, subject to demand.
All classes are coached by Caroline Dunleavy, an England Athletics run coach and technique coach.
Our spring/summer 2024 courses start in April 2024 and there is availability. Classes take place on Wimbledon Common on Monday morning, Tuesday morning & evening, Thursday morning, Friday morning (social run) and occasionally on Saturday morning.
Each class will have a maximum of 12 runners and all runners must complete a health form.
