In November 2006 a few Dulwich Runners who were injured or did not want to run, set up a power walking group within the Club. The idea for this group came about while we were on a Club trip to Sicily in October and 5 Dulwich Runners took part in a 4km walk while the other members participated in the half-marathon.

The power walking takes place at the same time as the Wednesday night run and tries to include part of the designated route for that evening so that we see the runners.

This group has proved very successful and we attract around 6 – 12 people each week. This alternative to running allows those who are injured to come for a walk, fast or slow, instead of sitting at home feeling sorry for themselves. No one is ever left to walk by themselves.
