ABILITY LEVEL

You don't need to be the fastest or the best runner to attend this course just some previous running experience and the ability to run 10km at a steady pace. We won't be running fast and instead focus on giving you a great experience with plenty of rest along the way and the opportunity to take pictures, relax and enjoy your time with us. It is also a fantastic way to get out running and learning with likeminded runners!
