Train with Belgrave Harriers
All sessions are free for Belgrave members. Newcomers can try a few sessions before deciding to join - just get in touch with a coach before you come along.
The majority of our training starts from the Millennium Arena in Battersea Park, central London, perfect for our members living and working all over the capital.
If your approximate best 5k time is slower than 17 minutes (men) or 21 minutes (women) then you might like to start your sessions with Belgrave Run Club, designed for beginners and intermediates.
Where Belgrave athletes live: Battersea, Fulham, Putney, Wandsworth, Clapham, Vauxhall, Lambeth, Kennington, Balham, Tooting, Wimbledon, Roehampton, Teddington…and much further afield.
