Welcome to the Community! 

So, you’re thinking about joining Far Runners? We’d love to have you! Whether you’re looking to shave a few seconds off your PB or you just want a friendly Faringdon-based group group to keep you moving, you’ve come to the right place.

Joining us is nice and easy. Here is your “quick start” guide to getting on the road with us:

Step 1: Get Registered

We use the RunTogether platform to manage our runs and keep everyone safe. Before your first session, please head over there to create a profile and officially join the Far Runners group.

Step 2: Book Your Spot

Once you’re signed up on RunTogether, simply browse our upcoming runs and book onto a session that suits you. It’s as simple as that! This helps our Run Leaders know exactly who to expect.

Step 3: Say Hello!

When you arrive for your first run, please make yourself known to one of our Run Leaders (they’ll be the ones looking somewhat organised and enthusiastic!).

They will give you a warm welcome and — most importantly — add you to our WhatsApp community. This is where the magic happens: you’ll get all the latest info on future routes, kit talk, and our legendary social events.

By joining the Far Runners, all are expected to adhere to our Group Policies.Group Policies.

A Quick Note on Pace

To make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience, we generally ask that new members are able to run 5k in under 45 minutes. Starting from scratch? If you aren’t quite at the 5k mark yet, don’t sweat it! We have a fantastic Couch to 5k programme designed specifically for beginners. Please head over to our Couch to 5k page for alternative joining instructions and start dates.
