Gillingham Fun Runners

NEW LOCAL FUN RUNNING GROUP FOR COMPLETE BEGINNERS

Gillingham is to get its very own Run in England running group. The new beginners group, which will start on 19th January at 9.30am at Riverside Country Park, Gillingham, welcomes anybody looking to run themselves to fitness in a social, non competitive environment.
Everyone is welcome to join up, whatever age, size or ability they are and the fully trained group leader will make sure that you’re well looked after and having loads of fun!
The ‘Run in England’ scheme is aimed at newcomers, or anyone who hasn’t put their tracksuit and trainers on for many years. This new group will give everyone the chance to take some regular exercise without feeling as if they’ve been left behind. Beginners will take things very much at their own pace.

Beginners can expect a 10 week programme with the aim of reaching a level of fitness that will enable new runners to jog for 30 minutes without stopping.
The Run in England beginners group is part of a national network that is backed by England Athletics and officially recognised by Sport England. It’s making a real impact in changing the lives of thousands of people across the country. The organisation is about much more than just running, with members enjoying new friendships and a fun and sociable way to take regular exercise without the pressure of competition.
Group leader Emily says of the new group, “If we can get a few more people jogging than walking then the group will have been a success. Some members may go on to achieve further personal goals from 5km fun runs to full marathons. We all start as individuals that think we can’t do it but with a bit of training and a lot of laughs along the way we can do it.”
