Want to get active, but need help to get started?

If you're new to running or walking or just out of practice we're here to help.

Running

RunTogether offers free running groups especially for beginners to help you get off on the right foot.

The weekly sessions are fun, friendly, and free of charge at parklands and open spaces around the district. They're suitable for complete beginners or those who've been inactive for a while - you just need some comfortable clothing and trainers to join in.

Our runners are all shapes, sizes and ages and it's a great way to meet people and make news friends. Qualified run leaders lead a short run and are on hand in each session to offer advice, support and feedback to help you progress and meet your goals.

Walking

If walking is more your thing, we also offer free, regular Wellbeing Walks for people of all abilities. The walks are friendly, welcoming and empowering, and a great opportunity to explore the outdoors, discover new places and meet new people.

Our walk leaders are trained volunteers who are on hand to encourage and support walkers.

The walks are free and easy, ranging from 30 to 90 minutes. Some walks stop for coffee afterwards which is a great way to socialise and relax.
