CENTER FOR BEGINNERS — Endless Runners (London Marathon Week Pop-Up)
CENTER FOR BEGINNERS brings its NYC-born, community-minded take on run culture to London for a four-day pop-up during Marathon week. Born on the Lower East Side — where, in its own words, *"sport, spirituality, and subculture meet"* — the space is half hangout, half gallery, stocked with special merch and limited releases, plus music, magazines, and visuals by artist Rhek. Expect a rolling program of meditation, Qigong, and shakeout runs hosted by Minor Planet NY, Mikey Kratzer, and Physical Recreation Services (activity sign-ups to follow). For race-week fuel, Rodrigo Cerv of Bad Manners LDN is slinging a special vegan tostada at Shoreditch Church Yard.
