Plumstead Runners take over at Bexley today.

We collected a number of used running shoes to avoid landfill today. We hope to run another shoe collection soon.

Last night's 5 mile plod led by Vikid (Vikki and David). It was weirdly humid and warm still.

Here is Sophie completing her first ultra at the weekend. She has skipped the marathon distance and gone straight for the longer run! 😂

Congratulations to our Plumstead Runners Paul, Ben and David who took on the biggest half marathon in the UK, the Great North Run. Paul had his biggest fan on the course, himself!

Congratulations to all our Big Half 2026 finishers and supporters. It always seems to be hot at the Big Half so well done in the challenging conditions. It's always great to have an event that finishes locally (in Greenwich)
