Pool Starters Walk Run Group

Thank you for your interest in our beginners walk/run group!

We aim to provide a sociable and informed way for people of all abilities, from complete beginners to regular runners, to take up, or progress their running.

As regular competitive club runners (who all started as beginners ourselves at some point!) we wanted to help to encourage more local people to benefit from all the positives that we have been so lucky to discover from running- from the social and fun elements to the improved health, strength and self esteem it can bring.

We offer a 12 week walk/run programme that starts very easily and will gradually allow you to build up to a continuous run of 3 miles. After that many go one to run a little further, perhaps try a short race for fun or achievement, or join our athletics club, Cornwall AC- but it really is all down to you. Some beginners have even trained and become our Leaders in Running Fitness (LiRF).

Every run is guided by our Leaders, who have gained their LiRF licences from England Athletics and do this as volunteers. We charge £1 per session just to cover our costs.

We meet every Monday (except bank holidays) at 7.00pm at the Hub Club beside Cran Brea Leisure Centre (or Tehidy Woods in the Summer) Please do come and join us and feel free to ask lots of questions and let us know what you would like to achieve.

Bring suitable running clothes (preferably something high vis) and running shoes.

We were all born to run- it just takes practise, advice and a bit of commitment! So give it a go- you will be glad you did.
