THE OUTRUNNERS
The Outrunners want a world where no young person is left behind. We work across East London supporting 1,000 young people a year with running and movement clubs and other activities that help them get moving in their communities, schools, and towards their goals. We’ll help you take your first steps to a 5k, find the confidence to tackle a half marathon or simply discover the joy of running with others.

QRC
Queer Running Club (QRC), established in 2019 as a registered CIC, offers a safe space for queer-identifying and trans people to run together free from judgement or fear. At its core, QRC’s existence is political. Supporting each other is an act of radical care, challenging systemic oppression that has long marginalised our community. Come for a run, stay for much more.
