Mornington Chasers

Mornington Chasers is a running club based in Kentish Town, north London, formed in 1986. It caters for runners of all levels, from beginners to competitive racers, with coach-led and social sessions plus a full racing programme. Runners who can already cover 5km continuously can turn up to a Tuesday run, while those who cannot yet run 5km can sign up for the free beginners programme.

The club's main weekly session is Tuesday, meeting at the Talacre Centre, with a range of run groups for different abilities and tea and biscuits afterwards. Thursday sessions are coach-led structured training at Parliament Hill Track, and Sunday runs and other informal runs are organised by members through the club calendar and Facebook group, usually posted a couple of days in advance. A free beginners programme is offered for people who cannot yet run 5km. Runners who can run 5km continuously can take out one month temporary membership to try the club, attending training sessions and races; the cost is discounted against full membership if they then join. Membership rates are described as very low, with concessionary rates available, and full membership includes a free club vest; replacement kit is sold through the online store. Racing includes the club's own Regent's Park 10K, the London Marathon, Summer League, Start Fitness Metropolitan League cross country, Southern Athletics League track, and trail races. Joining is done online. Contacts include edi@chaser.me.uk for equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility queries (including guide runners) and welfare@chaser.me.uk for the two welfare officers. The club also has a weekly members' newsletter and Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Strava and WhatsApp channels. England Athletics affiliated club.
