WERQ Run Club Do you want to start running or are you thinking about joining a running group? Every week, we organize various training sessions at different locations. Check them out in our schedule and run with us!
Interval Training
Whether you are putting on your running shoes for the first time or are an experienced runner looking for company and a way to improve your skills, our interval sessions are designed for you. These sessions offer a supportive and inclusive environment, specially tailored for the queer community. They feature a mix of fast intervals—ranging from 200 m to 800 m—with slow recovery runs in between. These intervals are essential for developing speed and endurance, meaning that regular participation can help you run faster over longer periods. We alternate our starting locations between the WERQ gym in East and Bar Bario in West. Join us to push your limits, set tangible goals, and celebrate every milestone. Go on a running adventure with us and experience the satisfaction of achieving your fitness goals together!
Easy Long Run
Connect with fellow queer runners and enjoy the outdoors with our long sessions. Each session covers a distance of 5 to 7 km at a steady pace, so that everyone, regardless of experience, can keep up. For those interested in longer distances, we also offer extended routes. We alternate our starting locations between the We Are Queer gym in East and Bar Bario in West to ensure variety and accessibility. This program offers a supportive space to challenge yourself and achieve your fitness goals in a friendly environment.
Running Events
The WERQ Run Club regularly participates in running events throughout the Netherlands, such as the Dam Tot Dam Loop and the Zevenheuvelenloop. Together with the Run Club, you can prepare to develop your pace and increase your running distances. Above all, we prioritize the enjoyment of running together.
