Weekly 5K Runs

Every Thursday night. We run in three paced groups, so you can stick to whatever pace feels good for you - whether you’re taking it steady or feeling speedy.

Music-Fuelled Fun

Each group runs with a speaker blasting a fun playlist every week - from throwback bangers to sing-along anthems. The tunes change weekly and always get smiles (and the occasional dance move) as we pass by.

Charity Events

We host themed runs and special events throughout the year to raise money to support causes close to us. Running with purpose.

Post-Run Pub Socials

Every run ends where it began - back at the pub for a drink and a good catch-up with friends. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular, you’re always welcome with us.

Our Mission

Have Fun. Get Fit.
Be Social.

We're here to prove that running doesn’t have to be serious to be effective. We believe movement should feel good, music should be loud, and community should come first.

  • "Run to your favourite tunes, crush 5k, then relax with your friends over a well-earned drink. What's not to love! It’s about showing up each week and pushing yourself first to run the distance, then to beat your own time. Good music, good company, and a cold pint at the finish line"

    ~ Alex

  • “Pub Run Club has become what I look forward to every Thursday! It’s a great motivator to get out for a run every week, even when it’s cold & dark in the winter. And there’s always a mix of fab tunes to boogie along the riverside. I’ve been going for over a year and it’s been a fab way to meet new local pals and be part of a positive & welcoming community”

    ~ Imogen

    ~ Tegan

  • “When I first joined the Pub Run Club, I honestly dreaded it. I wasn’t a runner, and the idea of showing up felt intimidating. But week by week, it got easier and something unexpected happened. I started to feel better, not just physically but mentally. The runs, the people, the routine it gave me something to look forward to. Now, it’s one of the highlights of my week. It’s more than just running, it’s community and support.”

    ~ Paul

  • “The pub run club has such a great mix of people and welcomes runners of all fitness levels - from total beginners to seasoned pros. It’s a great community with amazing people, and there’s always a fun social vibe with drinks after the run. What more could you ask for?”

    ~ Kamila

  • "Before joining The Pub Run Club I found it so hard to make friends when I moved to the area. Since joining, I've met some of my favourite people and made so many local friends, all thanks to The Pub Run Club. I couldn't be more grateful for such a lovely bunch of people."

    ~ Freya

  • “I moved to Surbiton back in April, and joining the Pub Run Club has been an absolute game changer. It's been an incredible way to make like-minded friends and really feel at home, all while keeping fit and healthy (minus the pints)!”

    ~ Oliver

  • “Pub run club on Thursday is often a highlight of the week. You know you're going to be met with good vibes, positive energy and friendly faces. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys running or is interested in seeing if it's for them but doesn't take it too seriously and enjoys the social aspect of it all. For me it's even more of a mental benefit than a physical one!”

    ~ Rachel

  • “I started running with the pub run club last year. I can honestly say it’s the best thing I’ve done, such warm and friendly people and the tunes are banging (usually!) The guys and girls at the Pub Run Club have something truly amazing. Would highly recommend anyone joining whether you’re a pro or just starting out, you will be made to feel very welcome.”

    ~ Jay

  • “I’ve been going to the pub run club since summer 2024 - although the club continues to get bigger & bigger as time goes on, Chris the founder always makes everyone feel welcome (new & old) taking time to chat and check in with people. In fact everyone who runs with the club is welcoming, whatever your running ability, age or background.”
