Summer might be winding down, but we're not ready to head indoors.

This month, we're heading for the water - seeking out rivers, canals, lakes and coastlines, and using them as an excuse to explore somewhere new on two feet.

Plus, we've got plenty more running joy for you below.

This Month’s Run Theme: Waterside Runs 💦

There’s something about running by water.

The glint of sunlight on a river.
The calming sound of waves beside you.
Boats bobbing on a harbour.
A canal disappearing around the next bend.
That first glimpse of blue in the distance.

This month’s run theme is about seeking out the water - and seeing where it takes you.

It might be following a river home.
Or tracing the twists and turns of a canal.
Or running the edge of a lake.
Or heading for the coast with the sea air in your lungs.
Or crossing every bridge you come across.
Or finding a waterside path you’ve somehow never explored before.
Or stopping halfway for some reflection.
Or even a cathartic run in the rain.

Find some water. Follow it for a while.

See where it takes you.
