Located next to one of London's most popular Royal Parks, Mile 27 Clubhouse Regents Park is a hub for the running community in Central London.
Having opened in Spring this year, the space operates as a local community cafe and bar. The Clubhouse also hosts a number of free running sessions by Mile 27 Run Club, as well as free talks by inspirational people in running. Our aim is to bring people together around a running lifestyle, as well as to grow awareness of the sport and get people in London active.
We're raising money to do two things. Firstly, to further develop the space and build features that our running community needs including changing room space, improved washroom facilities and catering equipment. Secondly, we will use funds to grow engagement with the sport and increase participation through awareness campaigns, events (including free talks and coaching sessions) and our free weekly run club!
What we'll deliver:
- Fit new outdoor furniture
- Host events including free run club sessions and evening talks
- Install lockers
- Install shelving unit
- Install Signage
- Marketing Budget
- Purchase Catering Equipment
- Purchase Club Running Kit
- Improve Washroom & Changing Facilities
Why it's a great idea:
Our project will:
1) Get more people in London active through running!
2) Provide people in London's diverse, eclectic running community with a an ideal place to meet, just next to Regents Park
3) Promotes a healthy lifestyle based around running
3) The project will bring more people into the local area, boosting the local economy
4) We will continue to engage with running clubs, communities, events and brands to provide a space that they can use to promote their work in our sport
