Social runs take place every Friday at 9.30am (term-time only) on Wimbledon Common and in Richmond Park and a small fee is charged for them when booking a beginner or improver runner course. Drop-in sessions are available and cost only £10 – just email info@commonrunners.co.uk.
Each social run will have a maximum of 12 runners but if more people want to join then two groups will be formed.
Social run details
If you would like to practice your running steps at your own pace and have a chat and coffee after, then these 2.5k/5K/7.5k/10k social runs are a must!
- We encourage beginners and improvers to take part and try running as much as possible or at a faster pace for the more experienced runners
- All abilities and ages are welcome
- There are two set routes per term to enjoy, completed in one, two or more loops
- The groups are small, making the runs ideal for the novice runner

“As a beginner I have attended the social runs almost every week in addition to my regular Monday class. This has meant that I’m running at least twice a week, enjoying the company of runners from my beginners’ class and other classes as well as the beauty of the Common! Having a second run organised for me meant that I didn’t have to work out my own route or timings or motivate myself on my own.” Helen Jones, voluntary worker, Wimbledon. Read more reviews…
