Introduction to Running

Increase your fitness, ditch the car, enjoy the beauty of nature around you.

Join Ashley and Rachel from GoodGym Derby on a group run session in Littleover as part of The Great Big Green Week, the UK’s biggest ever celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature. Every year, people come together to unleash a wave of support for action to protect the planet.

This session is ideal if you are looking to get back into fitness and to move your body more, are looking to return to running or would just like to meet some new people and have a chat whilst getting your steps in.

This is a great chance to find out more about the volunteering group GoodGym Derby and what our volunteers do in the community. We’re usually based in the city centre so come along to this session and find out what sort of things we help organisations, community groups and charities with.

The run will be led by GoodGym run leader Ashley and Rachel will be a tail walker at the back of the group, ensuring all abilities are catered for and nobody gets left behind.

You don’t need to have been running before to come along to this session, just wear something you are comfortable moving around in and some trainers suitable for running/walking. We will be outside for the entire session.

The Great Big Green Week is an opportunity for local residents to engage with nature, environmental issues or a new sustainable activity and also provides the chance for local groups and clubs to showcase what they offer for people wanting to join in.

Please sign up if you’re planning to attend and also remove yourself from the register if you can no longer make it – so I know who to look out for and don’t leave without anyone on the night.
