Running clubs for beginners and new runners
813 clubs say they welcome new runners or list beginners among their groups. You don’t need to guess whether you’ll fit in: check the club’s pace and distance, ask how the session works, and take it from there.
“New runners welcome” does not always mean a learn-to-run course. Check with the organiser if you’re starting from scratch.
