We are walking leaders from YMCA East Surrey and running coaches and leaders from Reigate Priory Athletic Club.
Each Saturday morning we provide walking and running activities starting at 10:30AM from a park bench in front of Reigate Priory, all for the wellbeing of our participants.
Everyone is very welcome to attend our sessions which are a route to getting fitter and healthier and as well as a great way to meet people, and if you'd like to join us we visit a local café afterwards.
You can browse all of our activities below or go directly to the Wellbeing Walk, the Couch to 5K, or the Saturday Social running group.
Get going with the "Roaming Reigate" Walk
Ramblers Wellbeing Walk with YMCA East Surrey
Every Saturday YMCA walking leaders (who have undertaken training from The Ramblers Association) lead a free-of-charge Ramblers wellbeing walk called "Roaming Reigate" for about 2 miles and 1 hour around the town. The leader can select a walk from our portfolio of routes that all roam Reigate from our starting point at the park bench.
You can just turn up on any Saturday to try a walk out, although you'll need to register for further attendance. Walking boots are not necessary. We attempt to avoid muddy paths. Please try to turn up by 10:20am at the meeting point (a park bench in front of Reigate Priory) to allow for greetings and registration before we set off at 10:30am. You can see more details of our walk and find out how to register here.

Start to run with Couch to 5K
Reigate Priory AC
If you want to get fitter and healthier, run socially with others or feel better in yourself, then perhaps this is for you. Whatever your motivation, we are running a Couch to 5K training programme designed for beginners, to progressively build up running ability so that you can run 5Km without stopping by the end of the 9 week course.
There is a schedule that you will receive with three activities per week, starting with gentle walk / run exercise, and ending with continuous running. The course is lead by Reigate Priory AC coaches and leaders who are England Athletics qualified. The total cost for up-to 12 sessions is just £17.
Please do not be concerned about the pace of running. There is no expectation or judgement, and our participants surprise themselves with what they can achieve.
We start programmes in January and in September, and our next programme starts on Saturday 27th September 2025 with two optional but recommended lead-in sessions on the previous Saturdays - the 13th and the 20th of September. You can see full details of our programme and registration here.

Saturday Social Running Group
Reigate Priory AC
Our Saturday Social running group provides a mixed ability led running session for a distance of up to three or four miles. Often participants of our Couch to 5K Programme choose to join Reigate Priory AC once they have completed the programme, although all club members are welcome to join the group. If you wish to join our Saturday Social running group you are expected to join Reigate Priory AC, which not only provides the Saturday session but also so much more, including running sessions on Monday's, Tuesday's and Thursday's. Should you wish to do so you may even wish to take part in competitions with the club (with no compulsion).
You can find out more about the running club on the club website and you can learn how to join Reigate Priory AC here. If you register your interest in joining our club you can try us out for a whole month free-of-charge - nothing to lose!
