We are Best Athletics, one of the fastest growing running clubs in the UK.

​

Founded by Nick Bester in March 2020, Best Athletics became officially affiliated with England Athletics in April 2021 and has continued to grow year after year. Supported by adidas Running since 2024, we are now home to over 500 members and a coaching team of six experienced coaches: Nick, Amie, Sam, Jack, Jess and Chris.

​

Best Athletics is more than just a running club. We are a global community of runners, united by a shared passion for movement, improvement and connection. While our weekly sessions are based in Southwest London, our members are located across the UK and around the world.

​

You don't need to be coached to be part of Best Athletics. Wherever you're based and whatever your ability, you're welcome to join the community.

​

Our weekly schedule includes Track Tuesdays, Tempo Thursdays, social runs, parkrun meet ups, races, training camps and community events throughout the year. We also have a strong team presence at major races across the UK and internationally.

​

What makes Best Athletics special is the community. It's about meeting like minded people, supporting one another, working towards shared goals and celebrating the journey together. Whether you're training for your first 5K or chasing a championship qualifying time, you'll always have a team behind you.
