Peninsula Runners is excited to offer a spring 2026 Learn-to-Run (001) & Run Easy (101) and a Run Stronger (201 group) starting January 21st to April 15. This will be a great way to get ready to run a Spring 5 or 10 K run (SUN RUN 2026 is April 19) or to just improve your health and fitness while having fun in a safe group setting! At the end of the session on April 15th we will all do a 5 K timed run where you predict your finish time and we see who gets the closest.

We strongly believe that outdoor exercise in a group setting is important for both our physical and mental health!!

The groups will meet in front of our Langley store at 6:00 pm every Wednesday night for 13 weeks from January 21st to April 15th. Cost is $60 plus GST which includes a Pen Runners run shirt. Anyone with an interest in improving their fitness and learning more about the walking, jogging and running in a fun and social atmosphere is qualified to join. The goal for spring 2026 is to get outside and learn to run or get back into it again. Running is a very healthy activity for us and our goal is to help you become healthier and happier.

This spring we are offering three programs: Learn-to-Run (001), Run Easy (101) & Run Stronger (201) groups which will offer a safe and gradual introduction to improved your fitness in a safe and healthy environment. Each session features the ‘Walk-Jog-Run’ progression (or for the 201 a different workout each week) until you’re finally walking fast or running strong for 40 minutes+, 3-4 times per week... at a pace that will allow you to walk or run a 8 to 10k or more with comfort & confidence!! Group 001 is best or those who have never run before or not for a LONG time. Group 101 will transition quicker to jogging and running. While the 201 is for those already running 30 minutes at a time but wanting to become stronger and faster.

Sign up soon before it is all full!!

Wednesdays are key workouts to help you become a stronger more complete runner. You should be able to run at least 40 minutes for the half or 60 minutes for the marathon before the first long run.

FYI we also have a power walking group heading out on Saturdays for those who prefer to walk either a 10 K (Sun Run) or a half marathon.

You will receive two weekly emails from the store and a program outline to help guide you through the program. All runners will receive a Pen Runners shirt to run in.

Running can be challenging and fun at the same time. One of the keys to running with a group like this is that you have others to run with and help you stay motivated and get a little more out of yourself. Our goal is to help prepare you to enjoy running and to finish your goal race.
