Three women jumping for joy after finishing a run with ForgetTheGym

Running Classes in Dublin

Ladies, we spend too much time indoors. It's time to get outside these bright evenings and do something just for you. 

We keep you moving and motivated around the beaches and parks of Dublin.  

Summer term: 12th May - 30th June 2025.

Location : Sandymount, Clontarf and Donabate.  

July term : 3 weeks in the Dublin Mountains. 

Timetable and Booking
A very special running group, great atmosphere, supportive teachers, sociable & fun. Running and training outdoors on the beach all year in all weathers is an amazing experience - 10 stars!” 

Aileen, Dublin

For 18 years we have been getting Dublin women up off the couch and out running by the coast. Come join us (Mary and Aoife) as we keep you moving and motivated. 

It is not just running - We build in strength, mobility, breathwork and a lot of fun too. Run at your own pace and enjoy the chat along the way.

There is no focus on competition. It's all about you enjoying being outside. Read more about ForgetTheGym

Something for everyone  

IF you are just starting out, check out our Beginners Running Course. 

BUT if you are already running (even a little bit), we have two types of classes for you. 'Fun run' and 'Strength and Speed'

'Fun Run' Class

Ladies, this class is for you if you: 

  • You haven't run for a while and want to build back up to 5k or beyond
  • You know you won't get out the door yourself and need motivation 
  • You want to be surrounded by a great group of women and coaches
  • You want running to feel easier and less effort on your body
  • You love summer evenings and want to make the most of them
  • You want to be less breathless on the run and get stronger 
  • You are determined not to let this summer pass you by! 

Minimum requirement : If you can run  10 minutes VERY slowly you will be fine in this class. You can walk/run as you need to as you build back up your fitness. If you are not at this level, we would recommend our beginners programme

 'Strength and Speed' Class

Ladies, this class is for you if : 

  • You are comfortable at 5k and want to be faster and stronger
  • You want to future proof your running and get inspired to do races, events and adventures
  • You know you won't push yourself on speed when you go out running on your own
  • You want to be surrounded by a great group of women and coaches
  • You want to know all the tips to make running feel easier over long distance and short. 
  • You love summer evenings and want to make the most of them
  • You are determined to give yourself some time to improve your running this summer. 

Minimum requirement : You can run 30 minutes comfortably (at your pace) and have been running all spring. If you are not at this level, we would recommend the Fun Run class.
