Running group details:

A bright, fun and friendly group in their 20's to their 60's plus. All levels.

Start off as gradually and as slowly as you require. Jogging, speed intervals & hills interspersed with as much walking as you need. Various sessions from week to week for great variety.

Sessions are within close proximity, with various size intervals to suit the various levels so all start and finish together. You do not have to worry about getting left behind.

Running mostly on the park's grass & trails will reduce the impact on your legs and reduce the risk of injury whilst you are starting or getting back into it. And to break up the monotony of running on footpaths.

Beginners, pregnant women and mums with prams are welcome.

Please ensure you have medical clearance to participate in any exercise program.

Please wear:
Comfortable running clothes and shoes. Protection from the sun i.e. slip, slop, slap in summer. Warm gear in winter i.e. jacket, track pants, gloves, cap or beanie. You can take off layers as you warm up during the session. Please bring a towel and water bottle or sports drink for adequate hydration and energy replenishment.
