About this run

NEW GROUP NOVEMBER 2019 - APRIL 2020 *Run *Jog *Walk *Skip *Jump Come and join us for this brand new group designed especially for complete beginners through to those confidently running but not yet quite to 5km distance. NEW: WE ARE NOW ALSO WELCOMING WALKERS to this group. So if you are recovering from an injury, just had a baby or operation, or running is currently out of bounds this is a great way to stay connected, get some fresh air and company. WE ARE ALSO WELCOMING PARTNERS, FAMILY, CHILDREN, FRIENDS of runners (children must be accompanied by a parent) so that everyone at home can enjoy the great outdoors together and children can see their parents in action. If you are a beginner looking to build up to running 5km this group is perfect for you. Our experienced England Athletics Run Leaders will take you through from your very first run to confidently running up to 5km without stopping.
