It’s all part of the ‘Run in England’ scheme which is aimed at newcomers, or anyone who hasn’t put their tracksuit and trainers on for many, many years!

The scheme is backed by England Athletics their aim to make a real impact in changing the lives of thousands of people across the country. The organisation is about much more than just running, with members enjoying new friendships and a fun and sociable way to take regular exercise without the pressure of competition.

The Run in England scheme also aims to include mixed sex groups, schools, workplace and families and be very much community based.  Everyone is welcome to join up, whatever their age, size or ability.  Fully trained group leaders aim to give everyone the chance to take some regular exercise at their own pace without feeling as if they’ve been left behind.

This group is aimed at 13 year olds and over with no previous running experience.  We will build up gradually with a mix of walking and running.  All you need to join this group is to be able to walk 3 miles without stopping and jog for one minute!

The group will be resuming on Saturday 30^th July in Shepton Mallet at 9am!

The 10 week course cost £20 – that’s just £2 a week!

If you’d like to give it a go, and would like more details about the new group which will be starting up soon in Shepton Mallet please contact:
