Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

Trot of joggers! I'm going with it. Good for you on walking. I have worn a pedometer daily for about five years. It reminds me to get walking. The American Heart Association encourages walking at least 10,000 steps (around five miles) a day. I make that most days.
Like the motion-blur caught here.
'Trot' works, short ..succinct. Something like 'pod' of whales.
For a very large trot, steamrolling along, endangering dog-walkers and lone individuals in their path, perhaps 'joggernaut' ... ?

I love it! Perfect name! Plus there's safety in numbers.
As a runner, I have always hated the word 'trot' to denote running. It's overused. Every Thanksgiving for the last 50 years, holiday races all over US have been called "Turkey Trots". Enough with the trots, already. If you want to capture the inner experience of a runner, and the appearance of a talented runner (though not me) to others, "a glide of runners" would suit better.
Thanks Jack - I've been slow to come to it - exercise always seemed a little foolish to me.
Dean - joggernaut is great but the vision is disturbing.
JoJo - yes it seems my little exercise in neology has been successful.
Anon - I like a glide of runners but I think there's a distinction between runners and joggers. I thought about a canter of joggers - but it's not as euphonious as a trot. How about a gallop of runners? To me that suggests the speed and noise that runners generate....
