Startup Run

NETWORK AND RUN EVERY 2nd THURSDAY, SAME TIME, SAME PLACE

Join our fortnightly Startup Run every 2nd Thursday starting at the Ministry (Southwark or London Bridge stations) for a refreshing 5k run. It's a perfect way to network with founders, investors, and the broader startup community, while keeping fit. Post-run, we gather at the Ministry bar to unwind and continue networking over drinks.

• 5k run by Themes river

• Open to all levels of fitness.

• Post-run socializing at the bar.

Target Audience

Founders, investors, and anyone in the startup ecosystem looking for networking with a twist.

The Ministry is a co-working space and after the run you are welcome to stay there if you need to do any extra work.
