Tooting Run Club (TRC) is proud to be doing a ‘takeover’ at Tooting Common parkrun on Saturday 19th September at Tooting Common.

The run starts at 9am and we’d love to see the whole community out in full force. Whether you’re running, walking, volunteering, cheering, or just coming along for the atmosphere, come be part of a brilliant morning.

TRC’s a free, inclusive, community running club and charity for adults of all backgrounds and abilities. Whether you’re chasing a PB or just starting your running journey, there’s a place for everyone here.

TRC share the same spirit and values as parkrun UK. Community’s at our core, it’s all about connection, movement, and showing up for each other. Parkrun is the ultimate way to kick off the weekend, and TRC builds on that energy with weekly training, group runs, and socials.

A massive shoutout to Alberto, who will be our Run Director on the day! Alberto’s part of the Parkrun core team and also a valued member of the TRC volunteer crew.

Alberto’s currently looking for lovely volunteers to help make the magic happen:

• Email: [email protected] (include your parkrun ID!)
• Run & Volunteer: Roles like barcode scanning, token sorting, and post-event close down let you do both.
• Marshalling: Not running? Marshals are always needed and massively appreciated.
• Just coming along? Whether you’re walking or running, you are warmly welcome!

See you all there!

Massive well done to everyone who joined us for tonight’s Midweek Run and Couch to 5K (C25K)!

Groups 1–3 ran their usual lap of the Common, while our C25K crew completed Week 5 and moved another step closer to 5K.

Tonight’s C25K Week 5️⃣ session was:

🏃🏽 5 minutes running
🚶🏽 3 minutes walking
🔁 Repeat x 4

If you’re on C25K, try to repeat the session twice before next Wednesday. If you only manage it once, that’s absolutely fine too. The aim’s simply to keep getting out there and gradually building up your running. You’re all making great progress!

As always, a huge thank you to our fantastic volunteer team for making tonight’s session happen:
