Our Run Club Launch!

"The first run was a success – it was great to see a mixture of both new and familiar faces getting along, and we introduced some people to new places that they wouldn’t normally run.

Also, no one seemed to question my thought process behind skipping around a car park as a warm-up, so that was good…

I was keen to lead the group as captain because I had a great time being the recreational athletics coordinator at university – it was incredibly rewarding and I loved how you could feel a sense of community building each week, which is something I’d love to achieve here.

Run clubs really are a fantastic third space that allow you to mix with others with the added benefit of cardio!

My aim for the run club is to reach a point where we can have a few groups with different paces so that everyone can run at a pace that is comfortable for themselves whilst still enjoying great company. I would also love to find some venues that are happy to welcome us for some post-run socialising in our slightly sweaty state!"
