Wellington Chiefs are set to launch a new walking rugby summer programme, offering a fun and inclusive way for people of all ages and abilities to get active.

The initiative provides a slower, non-contact version of the sport, focusing on enjoyment, teamwork, and social connection rather than physical intensity. With no tackling or running involved, it is ideal for those looking to improve fitness and mobility in a safe, welcoming environment.

Wellington Chiefs Walking Rugby

Wellington Chiefs Walking Rugby - Our summer programme of Walking Rugby is exactly what it sounds like — all the fun, teamwork and social side of rugby… just at a walking pace! It’s a slower, non-contact version of the game designed to be inclusive, welcoming and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of age, fitness level or rugby experience. • No tackling • No running • Great for fitness & mobility • Brilliant for mental wellbeing • Meet new people & have fun

Designed to boost both physical and mental wellbeing, the sessions are open to everyone — whether former players returning to the game, complete beginners, or anyone simply keen to try something new.

The emphasis at Wellington RFC is on staying active, building friendships, and enjoying the club atmosphere, with no need for prior experience or specialist equipment.

Organisers say the programme is all about community and fun, and are encouraging people to come along and give it a go.
