First Timers

Trial Session

Pioneers welcomes new runners all year round. There is no need to contact us in advance, just turn up to a Tuesday club night run, or Sunday long-run and try out one of our sessions! See our training sessions here!

When you turn up, just look out for someone in an orange vest at Wingate Square on a Tuesday, or outside the Alexandra pub in Clapham on a Sunday, and a member of the committee or one of our Run Leaders will welcome you and give you a briefing about the club.

We welcome new runners of all abilities but most people can run three miles / five kilometres when starting out at the club.

If you want to use the free changing facilities on Tuesday nights at Wingate Square, please bring a padlock.

On our Tuesday night short (5k) and longer runs (10k-13k) we do not have front and back markers, so we will buddy you up with someone who can show you round the route. It is also worth familiarising yourself with the runs we do.

There is no need to become a member. Your first session is free. We just ask non-members pay £1.50 for subsequent sessions (Tuesday evenings or Sunday long-runs) – we can accept payments on our phones and accept cash too!
