Try Running

Free beginner-friendly group running sessions on Tuesday evenings at Thorpe Wood, led by qualified volunteer run leaders.

Try Running offers free weekly evening sessions for complete beginners, lapsed runners or anyone wanting to get fitter in a supportive, social group. Each session consists of a warm up, a short run and a cool down, led by volunteer run leaders who hold the Leadership in Running Fitness (LiRF) qualification, with two leaders present so no one is left behind. The sessions are funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of the Your Community Greenspace project, are for adults aged 18 and over, and advance booking is requested. A separate 5-mile run for more experienced runners takes place on the first and third Sundays of the month from the Ferry Meadows Visitor Centre.
