Free Nordic Walking
& Social Walk Sessions
Runspire Together have partnered with Nottingham City Council's Travel Well project to deliver free Nordic Walking and Social Walking sessions. Our mission of changing people's lives through our running and walking communities is a great fit with Travel Well's project of "...supporting people to become more active, manage mental and physical wellbeing and address social isolation."

The Travel Well Podcast
A feel-good interview with Runspire, a community group helping people get active through Nordic walking and social wellness walks. Samuel from the Travel Well team met Paul from Runspire, alongside residents Ian and Teresa, to walk, talk, and share how the programme has positively changed their lives.

"It’s not only the scenery... but it's also the company and I think it makes a big difference to your mental health so I really, really value it."
​
"I live on my own so it's an impetus to get out and do something and meet people; otherwise, I think I'd just be sat at home."
"Give it a go and don't give up after one session... start to get to know people and settle in... everybody is really welcoming, really friendly so go for it."
Whether you fancy a brisk Nordic walk or a gentle stroll, we’ll guide you through some of Nottingham’s most scenic autumn spots. Enjoy the seasonal flora and fauna, and try spotting birds using the Merlin app: https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/

More Than Just a Walk:
"For me, this hour is essential 'me time'. It’s not for my husband or my family; it’s a chance to be with friends in a relaxed, friendly environment. It is great for your mental health because you aren't sitting at home alone. You’re out in the fresh air having wonderful conversations that give you a real buzz."
