Get Active and Social in Walkers Week
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 can ensure your walks keep you discovering new places while improving your fitness and creating new friendships which stand the test of time.
Improve Fitness
Three ability groups mean you can start slow and progress fitness without leaving the club behind.
Friendly Members
You can make friends for life when you walk together regularly.
Explore
Countryside and walks around the edge of Cheltenham offer a balance of convenience and adventure.
Why Walking Groups?
It's no secret that we are a Running Club but many of our members start out with our Couch to 5k programme and we've always taken pride in offering exercise for all abilities.
Walking regularly leads to a lot of health benefits and with so many people working from home or keeping away from gyms and pools we figured those who have turned to walking may well benefit from doing it with some new friends.

They Say
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.
Great walking group
Great walking group with scope for all ages and levels of fitness, good communication and support from the organizers
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.
Walker's Week
The first taster sessions we put on for walkers will be week of the 17th January.
You're invited to try four walks with our lovely group leaders as a kind of free trial before joining a membership.
Walkers Week has either started or finished but you can still get involved.
Complete the form below and book a call to discuss when would be best to try some walks.
