WE RUN EALING is Ealing’s running charity
We deliver community-focused running initiatives, most of which are free and open to people of all abilities. We also support and partner with like-minded people and organisations that share our vision.
Previously known as EHM Legacy CIC, we have done heaps of stuff over the last twelve years to help get people moving and volunteering in Ealing. We have installed a drinking fountain in Lammas Park – popular with both humans and dogs! During the pandemic we devised challenges to encourage Ealing residents to run or walk to dozens of local parks.
More recently we launched our regular Ealing Trail Runs and, in partnership with GoodGym, introduced Ealing’s first ever Food Bank Run. We have organised collections of unwanted running shoes at parkrun, sending 250+ shoes to be reused or recycled, saving them from landfill. We have also created a library of Running Resources; a collection of links, apps and groups useful for anyone keen to start running, to support their running or meet like-minded people through running.
WE RUN EALING is the charitable beneficiary of Ealing Half Marathon and as custodians of the brand, we are delighted that Race Nation has been our delivery partner since 2021. This partnership secures the future of this jewel in Ealing’s event calendar for many years to come and ensures the extremely popular children’s Ealing Mini-Mile, the Ealing Feeling 5K, West London 10K and the monthly Ealing Mile continue to take place.
In 2024, we launched Ealing’s first ever ultramarathon event, The Queen of the Suburbs Ultra & Trail 25k. After two successful years, we have now passed the event over to delivery partner Krono Sports and, as a charity, we continue to benefit from its growing success.
We organise group training runs and support for Ealing Half Marathon and Queen of the Suburbs Ultra & Trail 25k participants. We are delighted to see these events grow and inspire even more people to get moving and take up running!
These and our other activities are listed on our Calendar of Activities. If you would like to partner with us, find out more, or volunteer with us, please get in touch - or join us on one of our Monthly Social Runs!
