Run Wales

Run Wales is 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 that can be used within your group. 

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.

There are no fees or charges to become an official Run Wales Group but, to ensure high quality provision, we do insist that all of our groups conform to our minimum criteria. If your group needs a little extra support to meet the criteria, our friendly team are happy to help, so just drop us a message.

Registering with Run Wales gives your group, Run Leaders and members, the following FREE benefits!

  • A dedicated webpage for you to promote your group and activities on irun.wales  
  • Promotion of your group through our online ‘Group Finder’ tool 
  • Support for your group/leaders from our Run Leader Champions

The next step will be to provide us with some additional information about your group via the Group Information Form, your logo and some photos so that we can create your bespoke webpage. Don’t worry though as our team will help guide you through the process!
