Enfield Chasers Running Club, established in 2023 by two enthusiastic neighbours, has swiftly become a beacon of community spirit in the Enfield area. Born from a simple conversation, the club was never intended to be a high-pressure, performance-driven group. Instead, its founders envisioned a welcoming, consistent space that would be deeply rooted in the local neighbourhood.
The club’s mission is refreshingly straightforward: to use running as a means to unite people. It all began with Wednesday social runs—free, inclusive, and more about forging connections than tallying miles. This approach has resonated with the community, leading to a flourishing group of over 250 runners in their WhatsApp group and 150 affiliated members. The club’s calendar is now brimming with diverse community events.
From ‘Couch to 5K’ programmes to volunteering days, time trials, tree plantings, pub socials, and even an annual Christmas lights run, Enfield Chasers has created a vibrant tapestry of activities. The club’s philosophy is simple: provide a reason for people to gather, make them feel welcome, and watch as positive outcomes unfold.
For those in Enfield curious about running or simply seeking to meet like-minded individuals, Enfield Chasers Running Club extends a warm invitation. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with the community and experience the joy of running in a supportive group.
