Come and join us for a relaxed, friendly group movement session at Dover's Western Heights. Hike, stretch, breathe, run, and enjoy nature together. It’s all about feeling good in your body and mind, with no pressure and no cost.

We’ll help you learn how to use the Western Heights as a free outdoor gym, so you can make the most of this amazing landscape and keep moving in a way that feels good for you.

Who?

Sessions are led by Primal Runners – friendly coaches trained to support all abilities and backgrounds.

Everyone aged 16+ is welcome, especially if you:

  • Feel stressed, lonely, or stuck indoors
  • Want to get moving but don’t like gyms
  • Are new to Dover
  • Just want to try something different

Please note: These are active sessions. The route around the Western Heights is steep and requires good mobility. If you have any questions about accessibility, please get in touch. We're happy to help you work out if the sessions will be suitable for you.

 

What?

Each session includes:

  • A welcome chat
  • A walk or run through nature
  • Simple body movement (no equipment needed)
  • Breathing and calming exercises
  • Time to talk, share, and connect

No experience or fancy gear is needed. Just wear some trainers and comfortable clothes to move in.

 

Where?

Meet us at The Rings in Dover's Market Square. We’ll head up to the Western Heights together.

There is pay-and-display parking available in Dover town centre. The nearest railway station is Dover Priory, a 5-minute walk from the Market Square, and Stagecoach buses stop nearby in Pencester Road and Priory Street.
