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!!
