MonThuNew runners welcome
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.
