Follow on InstagramWhat we do
Every session has a running group and a walking group, so nobody gets left behind.
Coastal routes around Quinta do Lago and the Ria Formosa. No stopwatch pressure, just a steady pace we can talk at.
Same routes, same views, walking speed. Good for getting started, coming back from a break, or just enjoying the morning.
We finish together and hang around afterwards. Most friendships here start after the run, not during it.
Good people, better runs
About the club
Southern Light started in Almancil with a simple idea: the Algarve light is at its best early in the morning, and it is better shared.
We are not coaches or experts. We are people who love moving outdoors and want a friendly place to do it, whether you run every day or haven't laced up in years.
How it works
Each session is announced on Instagram with the time and meeting point.
Come 10 minutes early, say hello and choose the run or the walk group.
We head out together, finish together, and keep the conversation going after.
