Our partnership with Village Hotel Farnborough is rooted in a shared belief: when women are supported with safe, welcoming spaces, incredible things happen.
In winter 2024 — just six months after launching our very first She Strides Run Club in Aldershot — we faced a challenge familiar to many community groups. Shorter days, darker routes, and unpredictable weather meant we needed a winter running solution that prioritised safety, visibility, and comfort.
That moment marked the beginning of our partnership with Village Hotel.
We are delighted to share that She Strides members can enjoy 20% off one or two night stays plus get exclusive monthly gym membership rates (vary by location as below) - reach out to us on hello@shestrides.co.uk or message us in the club WhatsApp chat for more details on how to redeem.

How it Started
To keep our community moving safely through the winter months, we created a new winter running route in Farnborough with better lighting and accessibility. Village Hotel stepped in to support us by offering something incredibly valuable: a warm, dry, welcoming place for our members to meet before and after runs. It was a simple act of support — but one that made a huge difference. That initial backing allowed us to:
Maintain consistency through the winter season
Keep safety at the heart of our sessions
Continue welcoming women who were new to running
Strengthen the sense of community
Growing Together
Since those early winter evenings, Village Hotel has continued to champion She Strides as our community has grown.
Their support has included:
Hosting key She Strides events, including our 1st Birthday Party and Pacer Training Days
Providing a reliable, safe base for meet-ups and celebrations
Offering discounted gym memberships exclusively for She Strides members. Helping women continue their wellness journeys beyond the run
This ongoing commitment ensures more women have access to safe meeting points, fitness opportunities, and a supportive environment — wherever their local She Strides club is based.
Village Hotels Supporting Our Growth
As She Strides continues to grow into new locations, we’re proud to do so alongside a partner that believes in our mission and actively helps bring it to life. Village supports us, so we can continue supporting women.
