Get ready with TRANSCENDERS!

Gay Times
Massive thanks to Gay Times for spotlighting Queer Running Club in their latest piece on how queer running spaces are tackling loneliness through connection, sweat, and joy. BEND co-founder Georgie Okell shares how QRC isn’t just about miles—it’s about finding your people.
Utopia Zine
Someone once said that each step we take should lead toward building our dream of UTOPIA. And friends, we couldn’t agree more. But the only way we're going to make it happen is by building it together. In potentially the queerest, sportiest, and sexiest of collaborations, Queers On Wheels, Queer Surf Club, Queer Running Club, Goal Diggers FC, and Knockout come together to bring you UTOPIA, a hot-off-the-press zine celebrating queer sports, queer bodies, queer community, and queer joy in all its GLORY.
Over 70+ pages, discover intimate, provocative, and JOYFUL portraits of different members of the clubs, shot by some of the most exciting queer photographers in London.
Dive into visual stories on how these clubs are building community and read exclusive Q&As with members, crafted by writers from UK's queer sports communities.
✨ All profits will be donated to Mermaids, the UK’s leading charity supporting trans, non-binary and gender-questioning children and young people and their families. ✨

So good to be featured alongside some of our local Hackney running friends including OutRunners and Your Friendly Runners. No club operates in a silo - we are always happy to pass these guys on the streets of Hackney!
