THE MISSION

More than a Run Club...

We're a Community!

BAD Run Club was founded in Barking & Dagenham, East London, after running and belonging to a running community had a positive impact on our founder’s life.

We created BAD Run Club to bring that same sense of community, friendship and wellbeing to local people — without having to travel into central London or elsewhere to find it.

More than physical exercise, BAD Run Club is a place to belong, build meaningful relationships and create opportunities. Everyone is welcome, from taking their first steps into running to working towards a personal best. Together, we are building local pride and a stronger community through running.
