About

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.

Good to know:

  • Pop-up open daily 11 AM–6 PM at Progress Clubhouse, Dray Walk (E1 6QL)
  • Tostada pops up at Shoreditch Church Yard (E1 6JN): Thu 12–3 PM, Fri–Sun 10 AM–3 PM
  • Meditation, Qigong, and shakeout run times TBA — follow @minorplanetny for drops
