Run Wales is the social running arm of Welsh Athletics, we’re here to celebrate and support adults throughout Wales to run, jog and walk their way to a more active lifestyle outside of a traditional club environment.
Through the Run Wales programme, we support the development of social running groups and qualified Run Leaders, providing many useful resources. We promote participation in all aspects of social running, encouraging people to find and join groups in their local area, find the joy of running, and share their experiences.
Run Wales is marking 6 years of supporting people to run, jog and walk their way to a more active lifestyle by hosting a Run Wales Celebration Relay around every parkrun event in Wales and we’d love for all of our running groups to join us!
We launched in May in Prestatyn and we’re looking for social running groups in West Wales to help us continue the relay across Wales.
The Run Wales team will liaise between groups and parkrun to plan the baton’s progress, but as it heads to parkrun events in your area, it provides you with a tremendous opportunity to showcase your group to everyone at parkrun.
If you’re a social running group and would like to be part of Run Wales head to our website Everybody Can – Run Wales – Run Wales (irun.wales) for more information or get in contact with us at irun@runwales.org.uk
