This is a great time to reach out to others

I AM looking to share our mental health running community with more people across Leicester.

Run Talk Run is a worldwide support community which provides a weekly safe space to talk about how you’re really feeling, if you wish to, while getting moving for a 5K run no pace requirements.

Since hearing about this and realising there wasn’t one in Leicester, I knew there were people in need of this friendly, no requirements or judgement group, so got it set up.

We now have two weekly runs to cater for a large area of Leicester – Mondays at Victoria Park, a 6.15pm start, and Wednesdays at Central Park, Syston, 6.15pm start.

Since the last lockdown, numbers have reduced although we think the need for this is greater than ever.

With it being Mental Health Awareness Week (and month), I thought this could be a great time to reach out to people.

Our social medias are @rtrleicester – Instagram and Run Talk Run Leicester – Facebook if you’d like to get in touch.
