Did you know River District has its own running & walking club? In Issue 15 of
@riverdistrictlivingmagazine Katelynn Ramage talks about her love of running and walking and how she created the River District Run & Walk Club to fill a need for deeper community connections through movement:
My name is Katelynn, and I’ve had the privilege of calling River District home for the past four years. What has always stood out to me about our community is how active and community focused it is. Over time, I noticed something missing: a group that could bring everyone together, not only to keep moving but to strengthen the bonds within the community. That’s when the idea for the River District Run & Walk Club was born.
For the past 15 years, running and walking have been at the core of my life. I’ve been fortunate to compete at a high level in track and field, both at university and as a member of Team BC and Team Canada. Through these experiences, I’ve met some of my closest friends, and the connections formed on those long runs and walks have always been something special. I realized that creating similar connections in River District could be a powerful way to build an even stronger community.
🗓️ Meeting every:
Wednesday & Thursday at 6:30 PM
Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM
Meeting place:
📍benches in front of Romer’s
Our weekday runs usually cover about 5 kilometers, while our weekend runs range from 5 to 10 km. We also have a walking group on the weekends that often includes a coffee or tea stop along the way.
As the group continues to grow, we have seasoned runners to those just starting out on their walking or running journeys. There’s a sense of camaraderie that makes everyone feel welcome, regardless of pace or experience level. If you’re interested in joining us or if you’d like to help lead a run, please feel free to reach out to me either through Instagram at
