About Tooting Run Club
Tooting Run Club was founded in 2022 by Tahir Shams in partnership with Herne Hill Harriers. Based in Tooting, London, England, it grew from an effort to reconnect people after the pandemic and make running more welcoming, particularly for women and underrepresented communities.
The volunteer-led organisation became a charity in summer 2025 and affiliated to England Athletics in July 2026. Its programme includes free running and other community sessions for adults, with attendance managed through Eventbrite rather than an assumption that every session has space.
Monday intervals take place at Tooting Bec Athletics Track, with an earlier briefing for first-time visitors. Runners are grouped by pace and need a ticket for each visit. The training page states that common sessions are currently paused, so newcomers should follow the published event listing and check availability before travelling.
