Monday Milers
Friendly walks. Fresh air. Good company.
Monday Milers is a friendly, informal walking group bringing people together for a walk, a chat and a bit of fresh air around Telford and the surrounding area.
There’s no pressure, no competition and you certainly don’t need to be an experienced walker. The idea is simply to get moving, meet other people and start the week doing something positive.
Our walks usually take place on a Monday evening at 6.30pm and are generally around three miles, although the route and distance can vary slightly from week to week.
Everyone is welcome.
What is Monday Milers?
Monday Milers started with a simple idea: getting active can be much easier when you do it with other people.
Rather than worrying about steps, pace or performance, we wanted to create something relaxed and sociable that people could look forward to each week.
We walk at different locations around Telford and the local area, with previous routes including:
Telford Town Park
The Silkin Way at Admaston
Ironbridge and Dale End
Granville Country Park
Some routes are almost completely flat, while others may include a few gentle inclines. We will always try to give details about the route beforehand so that you know what to expect.
Do I need to be fit to join?
Not at all.
Monday Milers isn't a fitness class or a race. We want the walks to be accessible to people who simply want to become a little more active.
The pace is friendly and we aim to make sure nobody feels as though they are being left behind.
You might come along because you:
want to start walking more regularly;
spend too much time sitting during the day;
would like some company while getting your steps in;
want to meet some new people locally;
are trying to improve your health and wellbeing; or
simply fancy getting outside for an hour on a Monday evening.
Whatever your reason, you're very welcome.
What should I bring?
You don't need any specialist equipment.
Comfortable footwear and clothing suitable for the weather are normally all you need.
During the autumn and winter months, when the evenings become darker, we recommend bringing a torch or small light where possible.
If particularly poor weather is forecast, keep an eye on our latest updates in case we need to change or postpone a walk.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Monday Milers is completely free to join.
There is no membership, subscription or commitment to attend every week.
Come along when you can.
Where do you meet?
We deliberately change the location so that we can explore different walks around Telford and the surrounding area.
Most walks start at 6.30pm on Monday evenings and last around an hour to an hour and twenty minutes.
We publish details of each week's walk beforehand, including:
Meeting point
Parking information
Approximate distance
Expected difficulty
Anything useful to bring

Come along and give it a try
Sometimes the hardest part of becoming more active is simply getting started.
Monday Milers gives you a reason to get out of the house, have a walk and spend an hour with a friendly group of people.
There's no need to worry about keeping up, and you don't need to know anybody before you arrive. We've regularly welcomed new faces to the group and would love to see more.
