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.
If you would like to find out more about us or would like to join us on a Saturday morning, you can contact us at markhamcentaurs@gmail.com or on Facebook at Markham Centaurs Walking and Running Club.
