A new running group for novice runners begins in Cullompton next month.

The ten-week course has been organised for absolute beginners and is being run by experienced runners Annie Foot and Heather Holland.

The duo already organise other running groups on Tuesday Wednesdays and Thursdays in Cullompton for all abilities, which are very well supported.

However, this group is open to all; regardless of age (over 16 years), shape or ability.

The new group will commence on Friday, April 13, at 6.15 p.m, from the Culm Valley Sports Centre in Cullompton.

It will provide a mix of practical sessions and cover a whole range of related topics each week, to give new runners a good overview of what running is all about, the heath benefits, what to wear, what shoes are best to buy, and common injuries.

The first session is planned for prospective members to come along and meet up, sign up and let them answer any queries or concerns beginners might have.

Annie and Heather guarantee the group will be fun and new friends will be made.

For more information give Annie a call (01884 33077) or Heather (01884 38306).
