We also run Couch to 5km courses
several times a year. These are 10-week courses for beginners.
In addition to this, we have ad-hoc training sessions of various paces and distances on other evenings or at weekends.
Members can move between groups as they see fit and we always ensure no one is left behind.
Many of our members attend Saturday Parkrun of which our nearest one is at Countess of Chester Country Park.
We very rarely have to cancel our Wednesday training sessions due to bad weather. If this is necessary, we will aim to let you know by Facebook and Twitter.
