One run a week. Every pace. No club, no fee, no ego. Just Olten, the river, and people who show up together.
The Aare Run Club is Olten's open run club. Started by one person who was tired of running alone. Today we're a crew of beginners, marathoners and everyone in between.
No sign-up, no membership, no personal best required. All you need is shoes and the willingness to grab a coffee in the old town afterwards, still sweaty.
Before each run, join our Strava club. It's non-binding and just helps everyone keep track of who's coming and see the next date. New here? Just turn up five minutes early and say hi.

Two friends who love running, and who know the problem of running alone all too well. We want to give Olten a new space for sport and friendship, and turn solo miles into shared ones.
No. The Sunday run is conversational pace: if you can't talk anymore, you're going too fast. Nobody gets left behind, that's the one rule we actually mean.
No. The club is free and stays free. For the odd special event we might collect a small voluntary contribution, always transparent, never required.
Just come five minutes before the start at the old bridge. Joining the Strava club is non-binding and only helps us know you're coming and keeps you in the loop.
Everything runs through Instagram and our Strava club. If a run moves, gets a new time, or is called off because of a storm, we post it on our Instagram story and in the Strava club. Follow both and you'll always know before you head out.
