Motivation to run is particularly hard in the dark damp months of winter, especially if you haven't done it for a while but Sidmouth Running Club has two great courses to get your running mojo back or started!

The popular eight-week beginners course (25 places) returns, perfect for those who have never run before. The aim is to build up technique and stamina over the eight weeks and be able to run a comfortable 5km all with support and encouragement from very friendly, understanding run leaders.

The new 'Get Back To Running' course (15 places) is a six-week programme suited to those who have previously run before but need an incentive to get going, solo runners who would like to progress with a group, and those who need to rebuild confidence before running with a larger group.

The courses start on Wednesday 5 January at 7.15pm from St John's School, Broadway.

Each course costs £30 which includes your club membership for 2022 and public liability insurance and is open to all ages.
