Fun With

The courses are set at around 3 miles and in the summer take in some beautiful scenery around the Colchester area including the Castle Park, Abbey Fields and the Wivenhoe trail. In the winter, however, we stick to the roads which is not so beautiful but necessary on the dark nights.

The Running / Jogging club is a group activity.  All members are placed in pairs or groups of similar ability, so no-one is on their own and everyone is safe.  I stay with the slowest members to make sure that they're alright and to pass on to them any tips that might make their running easier.


By joining this class, you will quickly reap the benefits.  Week on Week you will experience an improvement in your fitness.  Members generally experience a good weight loss, if this is what they are looking to achieve.
