This course is for everyone that wants to start running!

The team at We Run the City have worked hard to ensure that our targeted group sessions and impressive podcasts will support you to develop a great technique from the outset, and we work alongside you to persevere with your training to ensure you reach your personal goals. 

What if you think you are unfit, but are keen to learn to run without injury? Then this course is the best option for you - whatever your level! Under the weekly guidance from one of our professional trainers, you will consistently improve both your fitness levels and technique, to be able to run effortlessly for 30-40 minutes.

Intermediate (Levels 1 and 2)

You can run consistently for at least 30 minutes and you know you can run further! You may also be looking to reach the next level after our Beginners Course. Whether you want to push your limits in distance or speed, or improve your fitness, or you are looking for the stimulation of running within a group setting, then our Intermediate Courses are for you.

Advanced and Marathon training

As an experienced runner you already run regularly and you have a goal to push out your boundaries. You are aiming to run more kilometers every time you train; to improve your speed; or potentially even train for the half or full marathon. After following this course, your running performance will be at a high level.

Running Courses (eng)

We Run The City is a foundation that aims to support both new and experienced runners to run properly and safely. Above all, our goal is to help them have fun with running and continue to enjoy this sport for a lifetime. We take special care of our training groups, which are guided by a professional trainer and never exceed more than 15 persons. This limit guarantees sufficient time to individually coach each participant and support running goals individual runners may have.
