All of our clubs across Kent and South-East London have a dedicated manager and volunteer team leaders to support and guide you from Beginner, to 5k and beyond. And with our clubs meeting twice a week, from Sunday evening through to Friday morning, club members can even take advantage of our club network to run more than twice a week!

REAL STORIES

What Our Members Say

  • "Ruby and the team are great. Really friendly . Sometimes you forget you have just run a 5k whilst chatting the whole way."

    Helen - B2R Barming

  • "Great group of people from team Orange through to everyone in a green top. Great encouragement and interaction between all levels of runners too"

    Helen - B2R Harrietsham

  • "Lovely friendly welcoming, really enjoyed this class! Found it really encouraging.Have signed up and looking forward to getting fit! Thank you.""

    Samantha - B2R Bexleyheath

  • "I find it so much easier to commit when I know others will be there too. I also love that the routes are different each week—it keeps things fresh and interesting, and I get to see parts of the area I might not have run on my own."

    Shelley - B2R Coxheath

  • I have been a member of Sheppey B2R since 2022, but due to injuries I have had spells where I have left the club & then returned & left due to injuries once again. Tonight I was treated as if I had never left, Steph, John & all the T/L's made me feel so comfortable & I slipped straight back into being part of the club. How did I feel after the run! Quite simply on a runners high. 100% made the right decision on returning. If there are any ex members reading this & are thinking about returning - DO IT.

    Mike B2R Sheppey

  • Very friendly welcome from all the runners. Colin explained how everything worked and how it would roll out over the coming weeks. Felt comfortable at the pace the class was taken and am looking forward to the next session. Would highly recommend this to other people.
