Get Active and Social with our Walking Groups
You enjoy walking but it can be tough finding people who walk when you're available, in locations which appeal and at the speed which feels right for you.
We have the community to ensure your walks keep you discovering new places while improving your fitness and creating new friendships which stand the test of time.
Covid Safe
We keep group sizes small and utilise wide open spaces.
Friendly Members
You can make friends for life when you walk together regularly.
Prepare to Jog
If learning to run is on your bucket list then you can get prepared with the guidance from our club coach.
Why Walking Groups?
Walking is a great form of exercise but walking alone doesn't always hold the same appeal.
If you like to explore new areas and meet new friends then walking with club members is a great way to achieve both.

Join the CRWC Family
Cheltenham Running and Walking Club is not a traditional Athletics Club.
Many of our members prefer to exercise with the friends they've made than alone so joining a club makes perfect sense.
Social Events
After joining you'll be invited to the next social event we have planned!
SO GLAD I JOINED
SO GLAD I JOINED
Following a move to Cheltenham 18 months ago, I wanted to make new friendships, get fitter and explore the local area.
The walking club ticks all these boxes, everyone is so friendly, I’m feeling fitter and I’ve found some new and interesting places to walk and talk!
So glad I joined. Jean
Walking with others and seeing new places
I joined the walking group in May and have enjoyed a number of walks, both weekday and Saturday. I enjoy the opportunity to exercise with others, meet new people and see new places. I find everyone to be very friendly, encouraging and a great community to be part of.
One of the best decisions I've made after struggling with anxiety and depression
Joining the group was one of the best decisions I've made after struggling with anxiety and depression over the last couple years.
I've been so lucky through the walking group to meet people who I now regard as some of my closest friends who I couldn't be without. It's great to get out and meet new people. It's one thing I really look forward to every week after work!
I'm no longer ashamed or embarrassed about my red face after exercise which was a major stumbling block for me when exercising with others!
All you need to get you back on the road to fitness and happiness
I’ve only just joined this wonderful, welcoming walking club. Although I’ve only managed to walk a couple of times, I know I can go whenever I want and still be made welcome.
I decided to get fit after time spent in hospital. This club helps with all you need to get you back on the road to fitness and happiness.
Thank you for instilling me with a little confidence.
The People Are Lovely
The people I have met are really lovely. Everyone is so friendly and it doesn’t matter how fast or slow you are, there is something for all abilities. The group is well run and a wonderful way to incorporate exercise and being sociable.
FRIENDLY CLUB WITH A REALLY PROACTIVE LEADERSHIP
Great friendly club with a really proactive leadership, I would definitely recommend them to anyone either starting a fitness regime or wanting to continue at a higher level
