Beginners wanted for running club

CALLING all people who want to get fit!

The 40-strong Monday night beginners section of Dumfries Running Club has been such a success that it is going to expand to include everyone who has ever wanted to get fit but has lacked the means to go about it.

An initial six-Week free programme, organised by coaches Margaret Gray and Susan Graham, is about to start on Monday, November 3 for those who are total beginners to running.

Anyone 16 or over is welcome to run, walk or jog in a structured programme to build up novices to help gain confidence and get fit in a friendly, non-competitive social atmosphere.

Anyone wishing to go along will be welcomed at Nunholm at 6.15pm on Monday. Comfortable, bright-coloured, warm clothing should be worn. Beginners will be placed in groups with an experienced leader who will make sure everyone is safe and comfortable.

More details are available by contacting Margaret Gray on 01387 257218 or Susan Graham on 01848 331533.
