Our monthly gig with the Ealing Mile seems to end with either a course record or close to it - crikey, some of these young people are speedy! But this is definitely an event for all, and all are welcome! Our volunteers were there to undertake the pre-race course safetly check, marshal, check off finishing numbers (a very important role, indeed) and act as the lead bike late sub (not needed off the bench in the end!). Oh, and we found time to grab a nice coffee (an important part of any community mission in my view!).

We Run Ealing

Delivering inclusive community-focused running activities and related volunteering for people of all ages and abilities in Ealing

WE RUN EALING is the charitable arm of the award-winning Ealing Half Marathon. We deliver community-focused running initiatives, many of which are free and open to people of all abilities. Previously known as EHM Legacy, thanks to Ealing Half Marathon, we have done heaps of stuff over the last ten years to help get people moving in Ealing. We have had installed a new drinking fountain installed Lammas Park – popular with humans and dogs! During lockdown we arranged events to encourage Ealing residents to run or walk to dozens of local parks. More recently we have brought the Blended Trails trail-running concept to Ealing and launched Ealing’s first ever Food Bank Run, in partnership with GoodGym and parkrun.
