Say Hello to Barking Road Runners

Jim Peters Stadium
Mayesbrook Park, Barking RM8 2JR

Track sessions are a great way to find out more about our Club. We do short, structured training sessions suitable for all abilities. Sessions start at 7.00pm and last about an hour.

Your first track session is free. Further sessions cost £4 each (or £3 each if you become a club member) or £1 for under 18s (accompanied by a parent or guardian).

A couple of times a year the track is closed when the Club is taking part in a race. Please check with us for further details.

On most Thursdays we meet for a group run on local roads. Runs start at 7.00pm and usually last for about an hour. There are vending machines available for hot and cold drinks, and snacks, and lockers to safely leave your belongings (you need a trolley coin!). During the summer months you’ll sometimes find us instead at Barking Park.

Please check our Facebook page or contact one of our committee members for details.

On Saturday we can usually be found – as runners or volunteers – at one of the parkruns in the local area. Parkrun is a free, timed, 5k (3.1 miles) run. To participate, you just need to register at parkrun.org.uk, print out your athlete barcode or save it on your mobile phone, and take it along to parkrun with you. Your barcode is scanned at the end of your run and you will receive your time by email or text. Full results appear on the website of the relevant parkrun. More information about local parkruns can be found here.

On Sundays (if we’re not racing) we can be found at Hainault Forest Country Park for a social/training run. We meet at 9.30am in the car park outside the Global Café. Directions below. Make sure you bring some cash for a cuppa afterwards! Note: the run is free but there is a charge for parking, payable via the Ringo App.
