We run
along the
Aare.

One run a week. Every pace. No club, no fee, no ego. Just Olten, the river, and people who show up together.

Scrolling = running · Your pace is measured above

Running in Olten is a team sport.

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.

Questions

Quickly cleared up.

Who are we? +

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.

Am I too slow for you? +

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.

Does it cost anything to join? +

No. The club is free and stays free. For the odd special event we might collect a small voluntary contribution, always transparent, never required.

How do I take part? +

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.

How do we handle short-notice changes? +

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.
