Ever wanted to start running but didn’t know where to begin?

Our next None to Run programme kicks off Tuesday 22nd September at Newburn Activity Centre — and it’s completely FREE.

12 weeks. Group runs every Tuesday & Thursday at 6pm, plus one homework run at the weekend, and a finisher’s medal waiting at the end. Whether you’ve never run a step or you gave up years ago, this is built for you.

“It doesn’t matter how far, how long, or how fast you run - we don’t care, and neither should you.”
