Vancouver Run Club for All Levels

Social runs, walks, outdoor adventures, and community-led training — built on connection, not pressure.

Free · No sign-up required · All levels welcome

Where Everyone Belongs

Striderz brings people together to move, connect, and feel part of something real.

Walking is always welcome — movement matters more than speed.

---

We meet every week in Vancouver: Thursdays at 6:30PM at the South Memorial track for relaxed, guided sessions, and Sundays at 8:30AM at the Vancouver Olympic Village square for social runs and walks designed to bring people together — not separate them by pace. Some people walk. Some jog. Some take walk breaks. Some push the pace. Everyone belongs.

Beyond weekly meetups, we also host outdoor adventures — trail runs, hikes, biking, and community outings. Most of these are free and open to all levels. They’re about exploring together, supporting one another, and building connections beyond the run.

Whether you’re new to running, returning after time away, or simply looking for a supportive group to move with, Striderz offers a welcoming space where consistency grows naturally through connection.

Running is simply the excuse.
The real goal is community.

No pressure.
No judgment.


Just people showing up for each other — one run at a time.

It’s a great group of people, super inclusive regardless of your pace and they often organize social events to get to know the group better. I have always been a solo runner, but since I started running with Striderz I felt a great sense of community and I’m never going back!

Rabih and the Striderz Run Community are doing it right. They look after their members like family and it's very clear they care about your wellbeing. You won't regret joining Striderz in any capacity!

I joined Striderz in summer 2021 – I immediately felt welcomed and part of the crew so I kept showing up to the social runs. Then, I started the clinic with the goal to run 10K (Great Trek) at or slightly under 60min. I felt prepared and ready on race day, the coach ran with me and paced me which was very helpful throughout the race!

OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Optional Run & Strength Training — When You're Ready

Some people join Striderz purely for the social runs, walks, and outdoor adventures. Others, over time, decide to work toward personal goals with more structure and support.

For those who want it, Striderz also offers paid run coaching in Vancouver and strength training in Vancouver, designed to support runners and walkers of all levels. These options are always optional and built to complement the community experience — not replace it.

You don't need to train to belong here. Training is simply an option when and if it feels right.
