Jaguar sponsor the Danson Runners

We are proud to announce our sponsorship of the Danson Runners, a free running club based in Bexley for runners of all ages and ability.

The club was formed by 3 guys in January 2017 who started running together and invited others to join them. The group has continued to grow ever since and now has over 360 members in its Facebook group and 117 members within its Strava club group. The group meets at The Boathouse in Danson Park, Bexley, on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 7pm to complete either a 5k, 7k or 10k run depending on ability, and also on Saturday mornings at the same location to take part in the Bexley parkrun.

Sporting their trademark bright orange t-shirts, huge numbers of members attend each session. Running standards range from ‘newbies’ to marathon runners, aged from 9 to 65. In the summer months Thursday nights are supplemented with ‘Runnercise’, a combined session of running & exercises, expertly delivered by one of the founders.

Our support has allowed the club to continue as completely free to all of its members. We have provided the funds for a number of key members to attend Leadership in Running & Fitness courses, endorsed by England Athletics. These courses ensure all members receive competent guidance and support when attending club sessions. We have also provided funds for sports equipment, and for banners & flags used to support the Danson Runners when they go ‘on tour’ to take part running events across the country.

If you live nearby and would like to run, look up the Danson Runners on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or just come along to The Boathouse in Danson Park at 7pm on Tuesday or Thursday where you’ll be guaranteed a warm welcome and a free work out with a friendly bunch!
