Running Classes in Dublin

Ladies, we spend too much time indoors - come join us as we carry you through the winter with a little fresh air therapy!

We get you out the door and send you home full of energy and enthusiasm after an hour outside. You run at your pace without any pressure to go fast or far.

We keep you moving and motivated whatever your running level. Turning up is the most important thing - after that the magic happens.

New Year Term: We start 13th Jan 2026 for 11 weeks straight all the way to Easter. 

Timetable and Booking

Meet Mary and Aoife

For 19 years we have been getting Dublin women up off the couch and out running by the coast. Come join us as we take the hard work out of running and help you enjoy it more.

It is not just running - We build in strength, mobility, breathwork and a lot of fun too. Go at your own pace, take breaks and enjoy the chat along the way.

There is no focus on competition. It's all about you enjoying being outside. Read more about us. 

"I love coming to the weekly classes. The coaching from Mary and Aoife, the support and fun classes has completely changed my approach to running and I can say I love running now" – Deirdre

New Year Term 2026

Choose your Class 

We have two types of classes for you. 'Fun Run' and 'Strength and Speed

1. Fun Run - Motivation at your pace

Ladies, this class is for you if you: 

  • You haven't run for a while and want to build back up to 5k or beyond
  • You know you won't get out the door yourself and need motivation 
  • You want to be surrounded by a great group of women and coaches
  • You want running to feel easier and less effort on your body
  • You love fresh air but find it hard to get yourself out in it when you are busy.
  • You want to be less breathless on the run and get stronger 
  • You are determined not to let this year pass you by! 

Minimum requirement : If you can run 10 minutes VERY slowly you will be fine in this class. You can walk/run as you need to as you build back up your fitness. If you are not at this level, we would recommend our beginners programme

 

2. Strength and Speed - the next level!

Ladies, this class is for you if : 

  • You are comfortable at 5k and want to be faster and stronger
  • You want to future proof your running and get inspired to do races and events..
  • You know you won't push yourself on speed when you go out running on your own
  • You want to be surrounded by a great group of women and coaches
  • You want to know all the tips to make running feel easier over long distance and short. 
  • You love fresh air and want to make the most of it, even though hard to get out.
  • You are determined to give yourself some time to improve your running this year. 

Minimum requirement : You can run 20 minutes comfortably (at your pace) and have been running for at least 1 year. If you are not at this level, we would recommend the Fun Run class. 

A very special running group, great atmosphere, supportive teachers, sociable & fun. Running and training outdoors on the beach all year in all weathers is an amazing experience - 10 stars!”

Don't put it off 

It's easy to wait until the warmer days or until you are less busy, but to be honest it will never be the perfect time. If you start now you will be feeling fab by the time the clocks change and we head into the spring and you will have so much more energy for the winter too. 

"I was nervous at first but I'm amazed at how easy Mary and the team have made it feel. I really enjoy the outdoor classes and running with a relaxed group makes exercising feel like fun' – Kate
