Welcome

Vegan Runners UK is a small, friendly club made up of Vegans of all abilities, from beginners through to dedicated athletes and is affiliated to UK / England Athletics & South of England Athletic Association.

Apart from enjoying running, we also help promote veganism as a healthy and ethical lifestyle. Some of us do this just by running in our VRUK tops, others go to events and fairs. Since our birth in 2004, we've grown year on year by 10-20%.

New members are always welcome - your running ability really doesn't matter, though to be a full member, you have to be a vegan.

Take a look round the website and get in touch via the contact pages, coming along to one of the meet-ups publicised on these pages, or wait until you see one of us running at a local event.

The monthly London meet up and training run has a base at Regent's Park from The Hub sports facility & cafe in the north of the park. Members, supporters, or indeed anyone who would like to try out our sessions are more than welcome. Attendance at the January & March 2012 sessions were 8 & 7 runners respectively. During the summer we will be trying other venue so check this page before attending.

The next London meetup will be at the Eltham Park 5 miles multi-terrain race, 10 June, visit the blog for details.

The next Birmingham meetup and training session held in Cannon Hill Park, south of the city centre has been scheduled for Sunday 24 June 2012. Meet 11am inside the park at the entrance to the mac building / cafe.

Other local or regional Vegan Runners groups include:

• South Wales VR - meet-up at open events including the Cardiff Parkrun on Saturdays starting at 9am
• Brighton VR - open events and the Hove Park 5K Parkrun starting at 9am on 2nd Saturday of the month

We are also trying to establish VR groups in

• Leicester - meets at the Braunstone Park Run, 9am Saturdays

Check the VRUK diary to see if there are any dates for training sessions or event meet-ups. Alternatively, for a free 5K run, we suggest you visit Parkrun to check for a local venue. They are held weekly on Saturdays starting at 9am, you just need to register for a barcode at least a day before your first Parkrun and take a printout along.
