As we all know, our lovely landlady loves to run.
Even with the nights turning darker earlier, we should all be able to enjoy the outdoors for a run. With our lights on and our heads forward the running community in Deal are collaborating with and are holding two, yes two social get together to help women feel safer running at night.
If you wish to join either social, please contact the clubs directly.
❗️you do not need to belong to any of the clubs, but for insurance and numbers the clubs will need to be informed if you are taking part. And yes men are very welcome to join in❗️
Think like this; if a lone woman out running, or walking, sees a familiar face whilst out she can then feel safe to ask to join you on the rest of her run or walk.
Let’s all be one community to help our mothers, sisters, daughters and the like feel safer together.
Jelly Legs Running Club; Still time to join us on Sunday 25th October at 5pm for a free social run. We are marking the occasion when the clocks go back of the choices women have to make when running in the dark. Email [email protected] for details.
Deal Tri; LET'S LIFT THE CURFEW 2026
This November, communities across the country are coming together to support Let's Lift the Curfew — a national initiative from Sport England's This Girl Can campaign, supported by England Athletics.
The campaign shines a light on the barriers women face when exercising outdoors after dark, including concerns about personal safety that can affect when, where and how they choose to be active.
Every woman should feel free to run, walk and exercise outdoors without fear limiting her choices.
This is an opportunity for our local community to stand together, raise awareness and show that creating safer, more inclusive outdoor spaces is something we all have a part to play in.
Meet at Deal Pier
Monday 2nd November 2026 6:00pm
Bring your head torches, wear hi-vis and bright colours, and help light up Deal!
Whether you run regularly, are new to exercise, walk for fitness or simply want to show your support, everyone is welcome. This is about community, visibility and making a positive difference — not pace or performance.
Let's get out together, get people talking and show our support for women and girls who want to enjoy being active outdoors, all year round.
Let's make ourselves seen. Let's stand together.
Let's Lift the Curfew.
