Whether you’ve never run before, or want to try again after taking some time out, the groups will support you all the way to 5K.

Whatever your personal motivation may be - to run your first ever 5K, to get fit, lose weight, relieve work pressure, escape from the kids for an hour or meet new people - the courses will provide you with coach-led sessions building distances gradually at a pace to suit you.

All sessions are with qualified and experienced (gender specific) coaches.

If you can already run 5K and are looking for company, motivation or simply to run with like-minded people, there are groups suitable for all abilities. Just get in touch!

Fun, friendship and a shared commitment to supporting each other to achieve personal goals is an integral part of the groups.

This is what a couple of the existing members have to say:

“This group has made a massive difference to my life. I have lost weight, am fitter and have made lots of lovely friends.”
