Who are we? // The Dirty Wknd Story

Dirty Wknd was started by David and Emma in London in 2016, born out of a desire to escape the city and a frustration with the London active scene of the time. If you were an experienced and confident athlete you were well catered for. But if you were just starting out, a more 'social athlete', or you just wanted to exercise for fun, then there wasn't much for you.    

So we created Dirty Wknd for exactly those people - the new, beginner, unsure and a little bit nervous cyclists and runners, who wanted to meet more people like them and get better. We wanted to create a home and a community for those people, to help them to do amazing things.

We started the club to connect people and help get them out of the city, but wanted to make sure it was one where there was no elitist attitude or pretence, no barriers to entry or criteria to meet. We just wanted to have a good time, get outside and find great people to connect with.

Since 2016 the members of the club have ridden, ran and swam in some amazing places. Whether at the weekly group rides and runs in the countryside, at L'Etape du Tour or Ironman events, the group has always been there to support and encourage each other and have those all important celebratory beers with.

If this community sounds like the kind of thing you want to be part of, then join us below. If you have questions then get in touch for a chat.
