Hot off the heels of their successful partnership with SoulCycle for cyclists, Virgin Voyages is now offering runners an exciting new opportunity to stay fit and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Introducing the 8 Legs Run Club (8LRC), a new addition to the cruise line’s ever-growing wellness offerings.

What is 8 Legs Run Club?

The 8 Legs Run Club is Virgin Voyages’ latest initiative to promote wellness and community among its Sailors. Inspired by Sir Richard Branson’s passion for fitness and the commitment to delivering exceptional experiences, the 8LRC is designed for runners of all levels. Whether you are a seasoned marathoner or a beginner looking for a casual run, the 8LRC provides a supportive and motivating environment.

Sailors can enjoy the scenic views from the ship’s Virgin-red running track, The Runway, and join group runs at various destinations. The club encourages Sailors to mix, mingle, and stay active as well as special events with The Happenings Cast. The 8LRC is open to everyone on board, offering a unique way to enhance your cruise experience through the joy of running.
