Running clubs: Why you should join one & what’s available in Singapore

Are you a runner looking to take your running to the next level? Perhaps you’ve been running solo across Singapore, seeing your fitness steadily improve, but somehow, something’s missing.

Well, that “something” may be motivation, and that, just like your fitness level, is something you can boost. It might be time to consider running with others, and that’s where running clubs come in.

What is a running club?

A running club is a community of like-minded people who regularly come together to share their passion for running. These clubs typically organise group runs, training sessions, and sometimes social events that bring the community together to provide support and motivation to one another.

The power of community

While we love solo running from time to time, there are numerous reasons why we’re sold on the benefits of joining and running with a club.

Running Event

Motivation and accountability

One of the biggest benefits is the in-built support system it provides. Whenever you know you have a community of fellow runners and friends waiting for you to join them at a scheduled run, it can be a powerful motivator. Having the support of a strong community will even encourage you to lace up your running shoes on days when you don’t feel like exercising, which often fosters an even stronger sense of belonging and camaraderie.

Social connection

Running can sometimes feel like a solitary endeavour, but it doesn’t have to be. One of the best parts about a running club is that you’ll have so many common interests with the people you’ll meet and run with. Do you sometimes find it difficult to find people who want to talk about running brands, technique tips, and upcoming races? Look no further!

Variety and fun

Running clubs sometimes organise a variety of fun activities to keep the schedule interesting. This could include runs at more challenging locations, hill sprints, or just a community picnic where you can fuel up after all your hard work. Participating in these types of events not only helps with community building but also injects variety into your routine, which is essential for preventing stagnation in your progress.

What running clubs are available in Singapore?

Now that we’ve piqued your interest, let's take a look at some of the running clubs in Singapore that are always happy to receive new members.
