Local Parkruns
What is Parkrun?
For those of you who are new, this is a club tour of all our local Pakruns, where we visit a new Parkrun each week. Parkrun is a free, organised 5k running event hosted by Parkrun every week at over 1,100 locations in the UK. It features lots of scenic venues and is run entirely by volunteers.
Get Your Official Time
If you would like an official run time from the event, please ensure you register at www.parkrun.org.uk/register/ and bring your barcode with you. It is worth noting that not all locations accept barcodes on your phone, so be sure to check the website first.

What to Expect from Group Rides and Runs
Every week the club will run at least one group ride and one group run. These will start from Streatham Campus, at the bottom of Stocker Road, at the time specified. There will be ride leaders who will know the routes. Please make sure you arrive on time to ensure you aren't left behind.
Multiple Groups
We will split up into different groups based on speed. We will try to aim for a steady, medium and fast ride/run every week.
Cafe Stops (rides)
It's part of the tradition - especially on longer rides.
What to Bring (rides)
water, snacks
tools: multi-tool, inner tube, mini pump, tyre levers
helmet (goes without saying!)
