Welcome to BL Running.

Barts and the London Running Club (BL Running) is Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry’s home for all things running, whether casual jogging or national-level cross country, athletics and track and field.

We meet regularly for group runs, and everyone is welcome.

Community, support, and balance

Beyond our athletic achievements, BL Running is all about creating a balanced and supportive environment where you can thrive. We understand the challenges of juggling medical school with training, so we come together for study groups, welfare events and office hours to help you balance it all. But it’s not all work—we also believe in having fun and building friendships that last a lifetime. Whether you're looking for a place to unwind, find your people, or just have a good time, BL Running is your home away from home.
