Tupton Rugby Club is inviting the local community to lace up their trainers and discover a different side of the sport with its popular Walking Rugby programme, a fun, friendly and inclusive way to enjoy rugby without the heavy contact.
Walking Rugby is exactly what it sounds like: a slower-paced version of the traditional game where running is replaced with walking. The focus is on movement, teamwork and enjoyment rather than speed or strength. With no tackling, scrums or lineouts, it offers all the excitement of rugby in a safe and accessible format.
The programme is aimed at adults of all ages, particularly those who may be returning to sport after a break, managing injuries, or simply looking for a sociable way to stay active. Crucially, no previous rugby experience is needed at all. Whether you’ve never picked up a rugby ball or haven’t played since school days, everyone is welcome.

Sessions are designed to be relaxed, supportive and enjoyable, making them ideal for beginners and those wanting to keep fit in a low impact way. Many participants say the best part is the social side, plenty of laughs, new friendships and a strong sense of community.
- Walking Rugby Legends Never Run is the perfect gift for the Walking Rugby vintage players who work hard to keep their footwork in check. It makes perfect gifts for those who play at the right pace. A vintage gift to give, or bag one for yourself.
