Grantham Running Club has opened its Beginning to Run scheme for 2025

Grantham Running Club has opened its Beginning to Run scheme for 2025.

It is a friendly and supportive programme aimed at people who would like to take up running but perhaps don't know where to start.

The programme is based at Grantham Tennis Club and takes place over two evening sessions a week (Mondays and Thursdays) for 10 weeks.

It aims to get people running continuously for 30 minutes by the end of the programme.

The scheme is open to non-members and all sessions are designed by UK Athletics-qualified coaches and supported by UKA-approved run leaders plus volunteers from the club, so participants are well supported on their running journey.

The programme costs £15 and all finishers get a custom beginners T-shirt and a celebratory graduation get together.

It's a brilliant way to meet new people and get into a new hobby and many of the previous participants have taken up running regularly, joining the club, taking part in races and parkruns.
