Run Fast, Run Slow, Run Together! Serpentine is Central London's running and triathlon club. We are inclusive, diverse, friendly and sociable. We have the fastest, slowest and everyone in between.
We have training sessions most days in the week and every weekend. We do two group runs a week around Hyde Park (Wednesday evening and Saturday morning), track/hill sessions at Paddington, Hamstead Heath, Primrose Hill and Greenwich, swimming lessons, and weekend group bike rides. We also do track-and-field races and trail running (a group trail run every month). We welcome all levels - whether you run 3:30 or 7:00 min/km, you can find someone to run with and have a great time!
We also take part in various races as a team, including cross country in winter (featuring the Met League, the Sunday League, various London, county and national championships), the inter-club Summer League and team relays such as Green Belt Relay and Welsh Castles Relay. A lot of us also do triathlon races - from sprint, Olympic to 70.3 and Ironman.
The Club has an active social side (post-run pub or cafes, summer/winter parties) and plenty of opportunities to volunteer (race marshalling, officiating, organising) and be part of the running/triathlon community on your rest days. We offer trials for our group runs which help you decide if you like us enough to join - we hope you do!
