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.

Meeting point:
We are meeting 6pm at the Ministry. We will start the run at 6.15pm.

If someone wants to join us at the bar after the run, we will be inside the venue at around 7.10pm
Bags/ Storage:
the venue has lockers, where you cans store your bags (subject to availability).
Showers/ Changing rooms:
the venue has changing rooms and showers if you need to use it before or after the run (towels provided)
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.
IMPORTANT:
Before each run I will ask you to fill in a very basic form so the Ministry can get your passes sorted so you can enter the venue.
