Tooting Run Club (TRC) is more than just a running group; we empower adults through free exercise, strengthen community connections, and promote well-being in a welcoming, inclusive environment.

Since our launch in March 2022, TRC has quickly built an excellent reputation, attracting high participation rates and earning regional and national recognition. During 2023, we delivered 178 sessions which were attended by over 12000 participants.

We’ve made a real impact, improving both the physical and mental health of our members while fostering meaningful social connections. Our latest TRC survey results indicates that 97% of respondents rated their overall experience of TRC as net good, and respondents reported improvements in running ability, physical and mental health. On the social side, 80% of respondents reported making new friends as a direct result of TRC.

Our mission is simple: to make running accessible to everyone and to create a space where everyone feels welcome. We are committed to keeping the programme completely free for the entire community. However, we do have operating costs to meet such as venue hire, volunteer training, website hosting, equipment, race supplies, etc.

Until now, we've been supported by grants from Wandsworth Council, the National Lottery, and the London Marathon Foundation. Although we’ve applied for further funding, our current financial resources have been exhausted. To keep TRC free for everyone, we’re launching a fundraising campaign.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will directly support our mission. Whether you're an active participant, or simply someone who believes in the power of community and fitness, your support is crucial.

Donate today to help us keep Tooting Run Club free and thriving. Your details will remain safe with JustGiving.
