Try Running

Our FREE Try Running sessions are aimed at new or lapsed runners or for people who just want to get fitter in a safe, supportive and social group. The sessions are led by our volunteer run leaders who have all completed a leadership in Running Fitness (LiRF) qualification.

Sessions are FREE to attend thanks to funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of the Your Community Greenspace project. Please always book your place in advance so we know how many runners to expect.

The sessions are beginner friendly but everyone is welcome! Each session consists of a warm up, a short run and finishes with a cool down. Our volunteer run leaders have great energy and enthusiasm and will be there to support you with any questions and queries you may have.

We also have a 5-mile run for more experienced runners on the first and third Sundays of the month at 9am from the Ferry Meadows Visitor Centre.

Take a look at the Get Me Started Training Plan which will guide the running sessions.
