A NEW running club has been launched to encourage people of all ages and abilities to pull on their trainers and get moving.
The Spenny Striders, set up by Durham County Council as part of England Athletics’ Run Together initiative, meet in the reception area of Spennymoor Leisure Centre every Wednesday, 6.15pm to 7pm.
Qualified leaders will cater the night’s run, or walk and run, to suit the fitness and confidence of whoever turns up.
Organisers hope the friendly group will encourage people who are new or returning to running to give the sport a try, which should boost their physical and mental wellbeing.
The group is open to anyone over 16 and it is free to take part. Email lee.bloomfield@durham.gov.uk for more information.
