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.

78 GoodGymers have supported We Run Ealing with 37 tasks.

The only 10k to be a part of this Sunday!

Sunday 23rd February

Written by Harvey Gallagher (he/him)

We love supporting our local community to get active! And the community came out to run, walk and cheer the West London 10k. The venue for the race, Gunnersbury Park, is shared between the London boroughs of Ealing and Hounslow. Of course, it takes a lot of volunteers to make these events happen. Our GoodGym marshal trio of Michelle, Alan and Harvey represent not only both boroughs, but also friendship across (football) borders - Leicester, Newcastle and Sunderland.

GoodGym - bringing people from all walks of life together!

Can you smile with style all the while you mile?

Friday 1st November 2024

Written by Harvey Gallagher (he/him)

The answer for most of us is probably 'not on your nelly'! But it was great seeing old and young turn out for today's Ealing Mile and most managed some smiles, albeit when they'd passed over the finish line!

The Ealing Half Marathon Charity organise the Ealing Mile, but sadly the Mile won't be back til February because of work taking place in Lammas Park. But, no fear, the good folk of We Run Ealing will be organising street art runs, trails around the borough, shoe collections and more, so check them out!

One for the road (run)? Oh, go on then!

Tuesday 17th September 2024

Written by Harvey Gallagher (he/him)

Helping out our local award winning race, the Ealing Half Marathon, has become one of our annual group sessions. The race is incredibly well organised and planned - we provide willing hands to put up advance warning signs on the route. There was some debate as to how far '200 metres apart' actually was - the next lamp post? The one after that? All very high tech.

We split into two teams, taking a side of the road each. There began a quiet sense of competition as we faced each other on opposite sides of the traffic. This was left unsaid, of course - it's better that way. An eyebrow movement can convey all it needs to, even through a couple of lanes of traffic bustle.

There's a fantastic atmosphere on race day at the Ealing half and we got asked lots of questions by curious residents as we made our way through the borough carrying step ladders and large yellow signs!.I think our high vis vests reassured people that we were legit (maybe!).

I saw the sign...and it opened up my eyes (apologies to those too young to get the reference!).

Signs, sealed and delivered!

Wednesday 7th August 2024

Written by Harvey Gallagher (he/him)

Two GoodGym regulars joined forces with Ealing Eagles and We Run Ealing to sort out the street signage for this year's Ealing Half Marathon (29 September - sign up here!). Locals need to know what's happening, and runners need to know where to run! There were new date stickers to stick, old tag binds to unbind, wobbly old signs to stiffen up, and much sorting into organised lots and bags - re-use being the name of the game - all ready for the streets of Ealing! And we had the Olympics on in the background (well, you would, wouldn't you?!).

When the time comes to put the signs up, GoodGym will return (watch this space!).

Swept round the u-bend

Friday 1st March 2024

Written by Harvey Gallagher (he/him)

An important role for GoodGym at today's Ealing Mile - chalking out directions around the course.

Then it rained.

Then it rained some more.

Now, the chalk wasn't washed away, but the need for directions changed to a need for warning of wet pavements and wet feet ahead.

Next, we marshalled around the course.

Then the sun came out.

But it was still wet.

The traditional role of marshals is to point runners in the right direction and offer encouragement. Today, we proferred warnings not to cut the corner too tight so as to avoid the muddy patch as the runners swept round the u-bend.

Then the sun came out.

Then it got quite nice, actually. See you next month, Ealing Mile@
