The last Dulwich Runners I went to was a 5k but in the summer?


There is parkrun in all the parks round here - 5k every Saturday morning, and these guys run a lot of timed 10k races etc. round here - Brockwell, Clapham, Greenwich Battersea etc. Good value and a decent medal.

The Runners World race finder is also really useful:

Their autumn 10k has bitten the dust I fear. A couple of years ago I spoke to the lovely guy who helped organise it and he said one of the issues was it was just getting too busy and congested on the pavements used for the route through Dulwich village to have lots of runners going through at top speed. The race fell off the calendar the year when Dulwich Park was being dug up for flood work and hasn't reappeared.


The Dulwich Runners midsummer 5k seemed to morph into a relay event last summer (2016). Maybe they feel the 5k market is more than being met with the numerous local parkruns?


The race director at Peckham parkrun is a Dulwich Runner so he could no doubt tell you more if you come along one Saturday.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
