ADULT CLUB MEMBERS
We had our first adult road run last Tues night and this was thoroughly enjoyed by those who came along. We hope that the numbers will grow week by week and that we will soon have a big group out enjoying these runs. A big Thank You to or group leaders, who are looking forward to seeing lots more runners next week. The group meets at the track at 7.15pm, and after a short warm-up various groups, from absolute beginners to regular runners, head out for a run over various distances. Remember, you do not have to be a runner to come along to any of our sessions, but you will be amazed how quickly and easily you become one! Running is something you can take up at any age and continue doing for the whole of your life, so why not give it a try!  You may learn to love it as much as we do!
