Socials
DPR is a friendly and sociable club with numerous social events throughout the year, ranging from regular favourites such as informal drinks in the pub, to special weekend trips. See below!
Regular Events
Post Club Night Drinks
Meet in the pub the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Usually The Plough in Lordship Lane or the Crown and Greyhound in Dulwich Village.
Three or four times a year, usually linked to big races like the marathon and the Big Half, or for example at Christmas, we base these Tuesday evening drinks at the clubhouse with pizza and wine, usually combined with medal awards.
Annual Dinner
Our Annual Dinner is the night of the year where we get rid of the lycra, dress up and have a fantastic evening. As well as a brilliant meal we also hand out various awards and medals.
Summer Picnic and fun relays
An annual event, usually in June, our summer family picnic is a really fun event, involving a series of fun relays (think primary school rather than the summer Olympics!) followed by food and drinks. Family and friends are very welcome to attend.
Rounders
Rounders in Dulwich Park. memories of school days!
Quiz Night
Our annual quiz night, usually in November/December, is a great opportunity to get together with teammates for the chance of glory or shame! Either are fine when complemented by fish / chips and beer!
Special Events
Each year a number of special events take place providing additional social opportunities for members. These are sometimes one-offs; sometimes repeated. Sometimes we link in with local events such as football matches at Dulwich Hamlet or the local theatres.
But we also venture further afield by organising weekends away based around a running event. Recent examples include the New Forest, Suffolk, Chichester and twice to the Peak District.
And then we sometimes have a Sunday outing perhaps into the Surrey or Sussex countryside or into the centre of London for a guided run.
