Get running with a group to see results

A running club is welcoming beginners to get fit this new year.

Washington Running Club has launched a beginners’ group for those who can run three miles at an easy pace.

The group is welcoming runnings to try a session for free before signing up.

A couch to 5K programme will start in spring for complete beginners, which promises progression to a 5K run in nine weeks.

The group meets at Biddick Academy car park every Thursday at 7pm for an hour of training.

A social run takes place every Sunday at 9am.
