Kent Sport running groups

Kent Sport is bringing back our popular running groups as we head into 2020! Why not make this the year that you take up a new hobby, or that you dust off those old trainers and get back to running. Whether you’re just starting out or a confident runner, we have adapted our sessions to suit everyone. See the full timetable on our blog.

Beginners’ Running

Our 12-week Couch to 5k program is perfect for those just starting out and will get you comfortably running each week, leading up to a 30 minutes run (approx. 5km) in just 12 weeks.

Social run club

2020 will bring a slight change to our running groups, with the introduction of our Social Run Club. The clue is in the name – this ‘social’ group will meet twice a week and will be guided by a qualified member of staff.

Intermediate Running

Already a keen runner but want to find a group to keep you motivated and push yourself? Why not join our group-led sessions with varied running routes incorporating interval sessions and weekly running challenges. All abilities are welcome!

Parkrun

Parkrun is a collection of 5-kilometre running events that take place every Saturday morning at over 1,400 locations in twenty-two countries across five continents. Join us for the Canterbury parkrun! parkrun is free for everyone, register here.
