Meet Your Run Leader

Hi, my name is Dave Feasey of South London Striders.I am a Leader in Running Fitness.  I am an experienced runner at all long distances: 5km, 10km, Half Marathon, Full Marathon and Ultra Marathon races. I love running and want to help you experience the joy that it can bring. I am also a physiotherapist working in the NHS and semi-professional football. I qualified in physiotherapy in 2022, having previously had a long career in teaching. My last position was as Head Teacher of St Thomas of Canterbury School, Mitcham. I know and love the area very well.

I hope you will join me on this exciting journey!

Did you know....?

The track, being used for these sessions, was first built in 1920 and was part of the News of the World Sports Ground when the newspaper was based in Park Place. The track was home to the ‘Mitcham Athletics Club’ and world-famous athletes trained there, including Olympic medal winners and world record breakers!

The historic running track at Canons House & Grounds is free to use all year round, we hope that this programme will give you the confidence to make the most of it! To read more about the  track, please click here.
