Run Club
Lunchtime miles. Every pace.
One run. Every Tuesday.
A proper run club for people who live and work locally. We run at lunchtime, at every pace, and nobody gets left behind. You'll be back at your desk by half past one.
- When
- Every Tuesday, 12:30pm. First run Tuesday 10 November 2026.
- Where
- We meet outside Black & Blanc, 240 High Street, Beckenham BR3 1EN.
- Distance
- About 5k, with a shorter loop and a longer option.
- Time
- Around 45 minutes from start to finish, including a warm-up.
- Cost
- Free. Members get a club T-shirt.
- After
- Coffee for anyone who has time.
- Nobody runs alone
Every group has someone at the back, and the faster runners loop back. You finish with the people you started with.
- Every pace has a group
From walk-run to sub-five-minute kilometres. Tell us your times when you join and we'll put you in the right group.
- Coached, not shouted at
A proper warm-up, a plan for each session and sensible progress, whether you're aiming for a first 5k or a faster half.
- Back by 1:30
Built around a working lunch hour. Bring a change of clothes and you're done.
Four groups. One club.
- Group 01Walk–runNew to running
Run a minute, walk a minute, build from there. Perfect if you've never run, or haven't for years.
- Group 02Steady5k in 32 min or slower
Conversational pace. The group for chatting your way round and building confidence.
- Group 03Tempo5k in 26–32 min
A little quicker, for regular runners working towards a 10k or a first half marathon.
- Group 04Fast5k under 26 min
For racers and the race-curious. Still friendly, still waiting at the corner.
We set groups from the 5k and 10k times you give us, and move you up as you get faster.

Same time every week. The run is the reason; the people are why you stay.
Do I need to be fast?
Not at all. Every pace has a group, including walk-run.
I don't know my 5k or 10k time.
That's fine. Leave it blank or tell us roughly how you run, and we'll start you in a comfortable group.
Where do I change and leave my things?
Come ready to run. Let us know if you need somewhere to leave a bag and we'll sort it out on the day.
What if it rains?
We run. If the weather makes it unsafe, we'll email members by 11am on the day.
Does it cost anything?
No. The club is free, and members get a Black & Blanc Run Club T-shirt.
Who's behind it?
Kunal Trehan, co-founder of Black & Blanc and a Blackheath & Bromley Harrier, who took up running to stay fit and now runs these streets most mornings.
