“Getting out there and getting exercise is great fun.”
The run is 15 minutes out and 15 minutes back.
Carol Grant, running club member said: “It doesn’t matter how slow or fast you are, so it’s great for people who want to walk.
“We start with a social warm up so it’s fine if you don’t do much running.
“We want people to come along if they think ‘I might enjoy that’.”
