Welcome to Beckenham Running Club, catering for adults of all ages and speeds ranging between 15 and 30 minutes for a 5Km race/Parkrun. We meet on Wednesday evenings at 6.45 for a 7 pm start at Beckenham Sports Club, Foxgrove Road, Beckenham, BR3 5AS (Google Map).
On a typical club night, a menu of social runs of various distances and speed are offered by group leaders; after hot showers many of us stay for food & drinks in the club bar.
Training / Social runs / Parkrun
In addition to Wednesday social runs, we hold training sessions on Monday nights providing a focussed way to improve both fitness and speed. At weekends we meet up for Parkruns and other organised runs ranging from social exploring through woods and fields to competition races and events.
Competing
We compete in races throughout the year, ranging from 5K up to marathon distance as well as cross country, team relay and local league events.
Grand Prix and Handicap
Within the club, there are various competitions with prizes awarded at the end of the year at an annual Christmas meal.
Once a month we have a Handicap race on a circuit of Beckenham Place Park. Similarly, we have a Grand Prix competition with one race per month at a local official event.
Hosted Races
We host an annual team relay in May for local running clubs and teams of individuals.
(See the Our Races section for further details)
Social
We hold social events throughout the year, a mix of dinners, dances and trips both abroad and within the UK. Many of our members also meet up for cycling, tennis and other activities.
If you want to try us out, email us beforehand and we will provide further details for you to join us on a Wednesday evening.
