NEWENT RUNNERS
GET FIT. HAVE FUN. MAKE FRIENDS.
Running is a great way to get fitter and healthier… joining Newent Runners is the perfect way to commit to running regularly, helping you feel better in yourself, physically and mentally. It’s also a great way of forming new relationships with other runners and find running partners to run with outside of club sessions.
If you are a complete beginner and you feel like you’re living a couch potato lifestyle you can make your first step to a better healthier life with Newent Runners. All levels of fitness and running experience are always very welcome… whether a plodder or a whippet!
Up-to-date, weekly information is available on their training page which lists Wednesday’s Coached Session, along with their fun, informal social runs – also listed in this post. Pop along or visit them on Facebook, you can get in touch using the form on their contact page or email newentrunners@binternet.com.
