Social Running
Social Run Group – 3 miles each session with stops.
This is a no pressure fun and very friendly group. It doesn’t matter what pace you run at in this group, you will be very well looked after by our incredible and very experienced run leaders and volunteers.

5K to 10K Progression
5K to 10K Progression – Build yourself up from running 5km to 10km.
This group will be of very mixed ability (nobody whatsoever will be too fast or too slow) and it caters for everybody. The only pre-requisite is that your starting point is that you are able to run for a 3 mile distance. It honestly doesn’t matter how fast or slow you can cover it. The leaders and volunteers have a similar mixed ability and are very experienced in not only progressing you to the 10K distance, but also in making sure that every session is fun, enjoyable and extremely rewarding!
