Markham Centaurs Walking and Running Club


About Us
The Markham Centaurs were formed out of interest of local runners wanting to get together to train, educate, motivate and share running experiences in a friendly environment. Over the last 40+ years we have evolved into a walking and running club that has a wide variety of abilities and ages.

The Markham Centaurs currently has about 40 members. We are about 45% female and 55% male. We gather on Saturday mornings for a 45-60 minute walk or run. Our members take turns hosting the group from their homes. After the walk or run we enjoy social time and a light breakfast provided by the host member. If we are unable to gather at a member's home, we will meet at a local coffee shop. There are usually anywhere from 10-25 people out on a Saturday morning.

Most of our members are over 40 but anyone over 18 in the Markham/Stouffville area is welcome to join us.

We are a friendly and social group and provide a great network of support to all our members whether you are a seasoned walker or runner or you would just like to get out and get some exercise and meet some new people.

We plan social events each year including a summer BBQ, a Christmas Party and a games night to name a few. Annual dues are $10 per person.
