Teachmate Run Club hits 500+ members!
From virtual challenges on Strava to in-person meet-ups, our growing running community is helping teachers prioritise their wellbeing and make time for themselves beyond the classroom.
Teachers Who Run by Teachmate has officially reached 500+ members!
Whether you're only just starting out with running or you're a seasoned marathon runner, our community is all about getting outdoors, prioritising teacher wellbeing and making time for yourself beyond the classroom.
And this weekend, we had even more reason to celebrate.
25+ teachers join our second Run Club meet-up
This weekend marked our second ever in-person Teachmate Run Club meet-up, with more than 25 teachers coming together in Manchester for Heaton Park's parkrun.
There were cupcakes, pastries, coffee, plenty of running and even a birthday celebration for one of our members!
The morning was led by our very first Teachmate Run Club ambassador, Manchester's own Marcie (@teachwithmarc ), who brought all the energy and made sure everyone felt incredibly welcome.
For Marcie, bringing teachers together through running is about so much more than the miles:
“Teacher wellbeing has always been at the heart of everything I do, from sharing my own free-time routines to posting tips on how to look after ourselves. Now, as Teachmate’s very first ambassador, I’m truly living the dream! I get to inspire teachers to prioritise their physical and mental fitness, put themselves first and show up as their best selves. Leading these runs and bringing the energy is everything to me! ⚡🏃♀️”
A pretty perfect example of what Teachers Who Run is all about: getting outdoors, meeting fellow teachers and making time for yourself.
We're looking for more Run Club ambassadors!
With 500+ members and counting, we're looking to bring Teachers Who Run to even more locations across the country.
We're on the lookout for Teachmate Run Club ambassadors who'd love to help organise local meet-ups, encourage fellow teachers to get involved and bring our growing running community together.
Interested? Email sophie.gornall@teachmate.com to get involved.
