If you‘re planning to lose weight or get fitter this New Year, the popular beginners running group is back at Penrhyn Castle, Bangor, and it starts on 28 January 2018.

The ‘beginners running group’ meets every Sunday morning between 9.30am – 10.30am every weekend for eight weeks, with the option of running the 5K Penrhyn Parkrun on the final weekend.

Running is a great way to get moving, and in a great setting and it’s completely free! Not everyone has the confidence to start jogging on their own or join the local gym, and matter what your ability and fitness level (or lack of) you can enjoy walking, jogging and running, inspired by the beautiful scenery of Penrhyn Castle!

The Beginners Running Group sessions will help you gain in confidence as well as fitness as you build towards taking part in the Parkrun on the final week of the programme.

But not to worry, even this final goal will be designed to ease you into the world of running. There is no pressure to finish fastest and nobody is left behind – it’s all about having fun in the great outdoors.
