Requirements
Due to our limited space, we require ALL participants to pre-register weekly by Wednesday at 9:00 pm by emailing coach Mary Marshall here.The sessions are suitable for runners of all abilities. Note that there are no lockers or changing rooms, so please come ready to run. A warm top and water may also be needed. The ‘street’ lighting on Primrose Hill changes regularly, so sessions will likely be adapted to the lit areas for safety reasons. If you have a head torch you may find it useful.
