RunTogether Canterbury

Our group runs

We've found 7 runs at location: All

Welcome to Our Runs section.

We meet regulary every Thursday night for a social run leading two distance groups. In the Summer months we alternate week to week between road running around the City and trail running at Blean Woods.  In the winter we stick to the City benefitting from the street lighting for a safer run.  Run groups vary with most weeks having a 5k option and a 7 - 8k option at a slightly quicker pace.

On Mondays we challenge ourselves to a bit of speedplay, running up hills, varying pace and terrain in an informal training session.  This is suitable for everyone as we stay together running up and down stretches of path/pavement.  Its a real feelgood session and we don't take anything too seriously.  This session runs throughout the warmer months.

On Tuesdays, our run Leaders Carolyn and Hannah lead a 5-8k run around the City for more expericed runners.  Its a slightly faster pace but still remains a social run with the group running together.

On the 2nd or 3rd Saturday of the month we join a local parkrun, the locations vary but we meet before and after the run often enjoying a coffee and catch up afterwards. 

On the last Saturday of the month we enjoy a Trail run up at Blean, again often with a couple of speed and distance options.  This is an easy trail run to ease you into the weekend!

Through the summer we lead various RTC Trailblazer long Sunday adventure runs.  These are trail runs taking place outside Canterbury to enjoy some of the Kent coast, countryside and local landmarks.  These can be up to 10 miles and are taken gently, slowly and are to be enjoyed!  Keep an eye out on the website/app for these.

Another treat for the summer months are the RTC Wanderers walks.  These walk are for those sat on the injury bench, those who would like to meet us and potentially start running with us and essentially anyone who wants to get fitter to start running.  This is a walking only group and distances will be between 3 - 6k in rural locations and will often involve cake afterwards!

If you are interested in our Couch to 5k programme, the next group will start in January 2025 and all the details will be listed  in October 2024 so keep your eye on the website. 

Here is a list of the runs that we have planned at the moment.
