Queens Park Harriers - social/beginner running
Enjoy 'couch to 5km', or longer social runs or improve with track coaching
Stretching
We've been lucky enough to have the support of the Queens Park Harriers running club who offer running advice and training to every conceivable level.
They can help you improve running technique & help mitigate against pesky niggles or injuries.
We can accompany you to a free Tues or Thurs eve session at Willesden Sports Centre (6.40pm-8pm).
Pictured is a Feb 2025 Thurs session - a collaboration between the Harriers & Westside Runnas of north Kensington.
5km runs
Blenheim is a 5.4km course (2.9km for Super Sprint) and the Harriers will help you get used to running at any pace, while helping to build-up your stamina.
Social & Inclusive
Luke, a Queens Park Harriers coach, now organises an open-to-all social run for 30-40 mins every Weds at conversational pace leaving the Wolfpack on Lonsdale Rd. It's billed as a social run for social animals and you can just turn-up.
You don't have to be a Harriers member to join this run and you can find out more on their Instagram page..
If longer runs are your thing, there are also Harriers-supported "long runs' every Sunday leaving Queens Park cafe. These are organised to suit different paces & change the routes every week, typically running up to 21km.
