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 winter 2025 courses started in January and there is some 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.
