Rebel Runners Offer So Much!

Enjoy your running more, improve your times, get support if you are just starting out, get support to improve, meet new friends, run your very first parkrun, your first marathon (and everything in between!) and much much more. Rebel Runners are renowned for our friendly and supportive nature and have something for everyone!

Lat year we worked with Dan and Jake, who are film makers and were looking to create a sample narrative advert about a running club for their portfolio. We are really proud of the end result, which captures the journey many of us are, or have been, on and shows what being a Rebel Runner is all about:

Here’s the experience of one of our members:

“I moved to Medway and needed something to keep my running journey going and I was new to the area so it was a good opportunity to meet people. Not only did I meet some of my closest friends now but I also met the man who is now my husband on a run!”
