Welcome to LVAR - Leadgate Village Area Runners!
About our group
Welcome to Leadgate Village Area Runners
Our small non-affiliated running group is part of RunTogether, which was created by England Athletics. Most of our sessions take place in and around the Leadgate area and we welcome runners of all abilities - we are pleased to offer a range of sessions to suit all abilities and aspirations. We are a friendly community-spirited group and our ethos is one of support and encouragement, whatever your running ambition is.
Thursday 6.30pm:
One of our qualified Run Leaders will support you on a 3-4 mile run around the local area - this is a great opportunity to meet new runners and share running stories. We welcome runners of all abilities, experience and ambition - there is no such thing as a slow runner, no-one gets left behind and you may just have a giggle or two along the way! LVAR is non-judgemental, supportive and informal - everyone has something to offer and we always love to see new (and old!) faces.
Please book your place via RunTogether. Run Leaders change every week, and the venue can also vary - please check your e-mails for details, or our Facebook pages on the day of your run for further information - Leadgate Village Area Runners.

If you are unable to attend a session you have booked on, as a courtesy to your Run Leader and your fellow runners please cancel your place or let your Run Leader know.
The mental health benefits of running are widely documented, never has this been more apparent than during the recent pandemic with its associated restrictions.
Thank you for joining our group, our Run Leaders welcome you to LVAR and look forward to supporting you on your running journey!
