The Dorset Sole Sisters is a women’s running club offering a fun, sociable and non-competitive environment for women to get out and run.
The aims of our club are:
To encourage women of all abilities and ages to run in a safe and social environment.
To offer coaching and encourage women to take part in races and running events.
To promote the club within the local community.
To ensure a duty of care to all members of the club.
To provide all its services in a way that is fair to everyone.
Who can join us?
Anyone who is able to jog slowly for about 30 minutes will be fine with us. We always have a leader at the back and you will never be left behind.
What if I am an absolute beginner?
If you have never run before please contact us on dorsetsolesisters@gmail.com to get advice. We sometimes hold beginners courses (C25K) or we can help you prepare to be able to enjoy running with us.

If you wish to run with us and you would like to be kept informed of updates, please email us at dorsetsolesisters@gmail.com
How the run works:
Each run will have at least two qualified and insured leaders. One will give the group directions for the run and one will look after the health and safety of the run and make sure everyone is ok. You will never be left behind, now matter how slow you are there will always be someone with you. We always keep the groups together, so if you are a faster runner you will use the “doubling back” system to keep to keep in touch with the groups and the leaders.
