Run & Padel
An easy 5k run, followed by an hour of doubles padel. Completely beginner-friendly. If you've never played, it's the perfect chance to pick up a racket (we can provide them). We wrap up by hanging out at the local smoothie bar or cafe.

The vibe
Your open invitation to do something fun
Moving to London, or just being here a few years, can be weirdly lonely. Everyone's busy, plans take three weeks to lock in, and you end up at the same two pubs with the same five people.
We started this because we wanted something easier, a way to do something halfway active on a weeknight or weekend and meet a few new people without it being a whole production. So that's what we run. Small groups, decent venues, an actual host who'll introduce you to people, and a drink or a coffee after.
You don't need to have elite fitness. You don't need to know anyone. You just need to turn up.
What we run
The regulars
A rotating mix of formats. Dates and venues go up on Eventbrite — first come, first served.
Themed Social Runs
High-energy evening runs featuring portable speakers, lights, and great playlists. A fun, party-pace jog around the city with a group, finishing up at a local spot to chill, chat, and grab a bite.
Bouldering Socials
A couple of hours on the walls. Perfect for all levels with climbing shoes sorted for you. Afterwards, we keep the group together to socialise at a local spot.

How it works
Four steps, none of them hard.
01
Pick an event
Have a look at what's coming up and grab a ticket on Eventbrite. We cap our events so the groups stay a genuinely sensible size.
02
Turn up
Come on your own or bring a mate. There's a friendly host at every event who'll spot you and do the introductions.
03
Get moving
Run, climb, or hit the courts, whatever the activity is, total beginners are always welcome.
04
Stick around
We always grab a coffee, hit a smoothie bar, or just hang out locally afterwards. That's usually where the real friendships happen.
The community is the point.
We're honest about it. The activity is just the perfect icebreaker. What people actually come back for is the hangout afterwards, when everyone's relaxed, the endorphins are flowing, and conversation comes easy.
FAQ
Things people ask.
Can I join as a beginner?+
Absolutely. You don't need to be an athlete to join in. Everything is pitched at beginners, and whether you are picking up a racket for the first time or returning to a sport, the focus is on having fun rather than intense competition.
What pace do you run?+
We tend to run a bit slower to make sure everyone can keep up comfortably. We stick together and run as a group, so nobody gets left behind.
Is it awkward coming on my own?+
Not at all, most people come solo! Because our events are anchored around an activity, it gives you something to do right away, which skips the usual standing-around awkwardness. Our host will also be there to introduce you to the group.
How old is everyone?+
Roughly mid-20s to late 30s, mostly young professionals living in London. There's no strict cut-off, though.
How many people usually attend?+
We purposefully cap our events to make sure everyone gets plenty of game time and a fair chance to play (for example, when we play padel or other court games). Conversely, if not enough people sign up and we don't hit our minimum threshold, we may cancel the event and fully refund you.
What does it cost?+
It depends on the event format. We charge a fee that goes toward covering the venue, kit hire, and the host. Any food and drinks you grab afterwards are on you.
Where do you run events?+
All over central and inner London — you will find us at Regent's Park, Hyde Park, Battersea, Shoreditch, and Clapham. The exact spot is always on the Eventbrite listing.
What if I need to cancel?+
If your plans change, just let us know more than 48 hours in advance, and we will happily refund your ticket or move you to another date.
