This Is Running: Raziq Rauf × Sophie Heawood
A literary pause slotted into marathon week. Author Raziq Rauf sits down with journalist Sophie Heawood at Artwords Bookshop in Clapton to mark the release of *This Is Running* — his cultural snapshot of the sport's current boom: streetwear, trail running, women's experiences, run-crew communities and the shift from hobby to identity. Heawood recently wrote the much-discussed Harry Styles × Haruki Murakami piece for Runner's World; expect a conversation that wanders between literary salon and state-of-the-sport check-in.
Good to know:
- Seated, in-store talk — come early to find a spot
- Copies of *This Is Running* available to buy on the night
- Registration required via Movemint; free to attend
