IF you want to take up running but do not know where to start, or are looking for others in a similar position to take that first step together, then Burnden Road Runners' new-starters group could be the answer.
The next beginners’ group begins on Monday, so if you have never run before, are returning after an injury or have had a spell away from the sport, this group is perfect for you.
All abilities are catered for by the qualified coaching team and the Burnden club have successfully run more than 20 new-starters groups over the years, with each programme designed around the needs and goals of the runners in that group.
An informal three-week introductory period to establish what you would like to get out of the group is followed by a more structured programme designed to help you reach your goals, whether that be a race or to simply run a set distance without stopping.
The group meets at Smithills School Sports Centre, Smithills Dean Road, each Monday from 7pm-8pm.
