As part of our 10th Year celebrations, we’re excited to bring back the 1-Mile Time Trial.

This is a flat, straightforward route, repeated once a month, making it a great way to track your progress. We’ll begin with a warm-up and a clear introduction to the course. We’ll all start together as a group, then simply walk at the fastest pace you comfortably can.

Your time will be recorded to give you a personal target to aim for next time. This isn’t about competing with anyone else; it’s about challenging yourself and seeing how far you can progress. It’s a fantastic way to stay motivated and build speed and confidence.

The route is fully visible throughout, so you won’t get lost, and we’ll finish with a group stretch.

The session takes place after Beach Warriors on a Saturday. You’re welcome to do both sessions or just come along for the time trial.

Give it a go, you might surprise yourself.

For those new to the area you`ll be surprised at the fantastic views over London that you get from Wood Farm Viewpoint, the hidden lakes in PearsWood and Bentley Priory and the seemigly endless trails through woods which change with the seasons.
