Clarissa Bird RED Engineering

“I enjoy taking part in these Run clubs as it gives me a chance to meet new people/socialise while keeping active and fit. Also helps motivate me to run more. Plus everyone is always so friendly and I have never noticed anyone left ton their own.”

Stuart Hall VIPA Digital

"It was great to have the opportunity to mix-it-up last night with GeN+1 who brought together one of my outside interests with some like-minded folks from the data centre community."

Kelly Beer Chapmanbdsp

“For years I have wanted to join a run club but kept finding excuses not to as I was very nervous about not being a good enough runner. The Gen+1 Run Club were so welcoming and inclusive, that it gave me the courage to give it a go, and I’m so pleased I joined as it’s growing into a wonderful community filled with lots of support and, surprisingly, plenty of people who felt exactly like I did! I’m excited to be part of the club now, and it’s the perfect opportunity to step out of your comfort zone, meet new people, and explore London too – and whether you decide to walk, run, or hit PBs, it’s guaranteed to leave you feeling amazing!”

Aki Morioka Global Switch

"GeN +1 community genuinely helped me to meet other runners and it supported me so much mentally and physically. I am so glad to meet you as we are aiming at the same goal even though we work for different companies."
