Making everyday active in Dover

Here are some of the great activities happening in and around the district. If you would like to talk about getting more active around Dover, just reach out to me.

Benefits of…walking

Walmer & Deal Seafront parkrun takes place every Saturday at 9am. These free 5km timed events welcome all abilities. Bring the whole family including the dog and enjoy a walk, jog or run around the park. If you don't fancy running, then you can always volunteer and help cheer everyone on!

Benefits of…walking

The benefits of walking are almost endless, and whether you used to walk regularly, have no experience of walking for exercise, or even if you're living with mobility issues, walking can provide real benefits for your health and welbeing.
