Running Amman is a free and inclusive outdoor fitness movement that is open for anyone to join regardless of age, size, shape, gender, ethnicity, or fitness level. Our runs attract hundreds of runners every week, from all nationalities and walks of life. From first-time runners to professional ones. From residents and nationals who have lived their entire life in Jordan, to tourists who are here for just a day.
Running Amman aims to provide a safe and inclusive space for all runners to connect, engage and empower one another all while exploring the natural and urban spaces, and supporting the local businesses in Jordan.
We run 3 times a week: Monday and Wednesday evenings, and Friday mornings. Our runs are open for anyone to join regardless of age, size, shape, gender, ethnicity, or fitness level. If you are under 18 years old, you must be accompanied by a parent the first time you join. You can find our full group runs schedule here
We host our runs in various spots across Amman. We’re at King Hussein Park on Monday, and in Abdoun on Wednesdays. Every Friday, we switch it up between several neighborhoods, currently including Weibdeh, Jabal Amman, Abdoun, Sweifyeh, and Um Uthaina. Our runs are free to join and open to all levels.

We welcome everyone and anyone regardless of fitness level. We run at an easy conversational pace, that is different for almost everyone, so your pace is ok. Our members range from professional athletes to recent couch potatoes that decided to do something about their fitness. Most of our runs are scalable and are designed to encourage constant progress and improvement.
If this is your first time joining, we’ll discuss your fitness level during our onboarding and recommend the appropriate runs for you.
Our groups runs are free.
Mondays and Wednesdays are usually in 5.5 km loop, our Friday runs vary but average around 8km. Most routes can be shortned or lengthened according to your fitness level.
All of our runs are at what we would like to call Sexy (Easy) pace. We do not have pace groups, although they tend to form organically. It’s usually around 5 min/km in the front and around 7min/km in the back. Don't worry if you are slower than that, run at your own pace, run leaders typically circle back to ensure everyone is on course.
You will need to book a spot at one of our runs in order to join. It’s simple, just fill in the form and we’ll get in touch with you one day before the run to confirm your spot.
