Waterfront Running Club aims to encourage fitness and socialisation in a non-competitive environment. Our vision is to create a safe, friendly environment for people to be able to exercise and feel confident ultimately boosting mental health and decreasing stress.
Tiered Running Schedule:
TIER 1: Walking and Talking
Our first tier is a walking and talking session, the walks will be about 5k (3 miles) and hopefully end at one of our sponsor coffee shops.
TIER 2: Short jog/run
This run will be 2/3k, it can be run or walked as you wish to. We aim for this run to function like couch to 5k but with less structure, when you need to walk, walk and when you’re ready to start running again go ahead!
TIER 3: 5k run
This is our longest run and can be run at any pace that you wish.
To ensure that everybody feels involved our committee members will be spread out throughout the running group and you will never be left behind!
Events & Fundraising
As a non-competitive running club we will not be attending any competition or BUCS events.
Throughout the terms we intend to throw themed and fun runs, and charity challenges to fundraise for our charity: Mind Devon
