Plodders

The Poblado Plodders began as a simple idea: get together, move gently, and enjoy the landscape around us.

 

Our Saturday 5km loop around Dorothea Quarry in Nantlle has become the heart of the group — relaxed, chatty, and always followed by excellent coffee from Poblado Coffi. No pressure, no racing, just turning up and enjoying the miles together.

Over time, the group has grown into a supportive community of runners of all levels. Some come to build confidence, some to keep their fitness ticking over, and many simply for the company. Whatever your pace, you’ll never be left behind.

 

Tuesday evenings offer a slightly tougher challenge, with hillier routes in Rhosgadfan, Rhostryfan or Dinas depending on the weather. They’re something to grow into at your own rhythm.  And through winter, our monthly “Plod on Tour” takes us to new routes across North Wales — and to the brilliant network of Poblado Coffee suppliers across the area.

 

Whether you’ve just finished Couch to 5K or you’re looking for a friendly group to keep you motivated, the Plodders are here to support you — on the run and beyond — through our WhatsApp group, Strava page and growing community on Instagram.
