Run club in Romford
Barking Road Runners is a running club based in Barking, east London, formed in 1984 with around 120 members aged 18 to 78. It caters for all paces and abilities, including people starting out, returning to running or training for races. Sessions include structured track training, group road runs, parkruns and social trail runs.
Tuesday track sessions at Jim Peters Stadium last about an hour and are structured training suitable for all abilities; the track is occasionally closed when the club races. Thursday road runs from Castle Green Sports Centre start at 19:00 and last about an hour, with vending machines and lockers (trolley coin needed); in summer the group sometimes meets at Barking Park instead. On Saturdays members run or volunteer at local parkruns (free, 5k, register at parkrun.org.uk and bring a barcode). Sunday runs at Hainault Forest Country Park meet at 09:30 in the car park outside the Global Café; the run is free but parking is charged via the Ringo app. A first track session is free, then £4 per session, £3 for club members, or £1 for under-18s accompanied by a parent or guardian. Adult membership is £15 a year (pro rata), plus £23 (2026/27) for England Athletics registration, which gives £2 off races entered under EA rules. To join, attend a few sessions then complete the form on the website; the Membership Secretary, Belinda, advises on payment. Enquiries via the website contact form; session details are also posted on the club Facebook page. The club has coaches and leaders in running fitness. England Athletics affiliated club.
