Howden Fitmums and Friends A friendly, supportive running group for men & women (aged 16+) of all abilities. No need to be fit!

Howden Fitmums & Friends is part of an amazing network of clubs which was started quite unintentionally in 2009 by a mum in an East Yorkshire village. She was missing the chance to make friends in the playground at her son's school due to working full time and so decided to see if any of the parents fancied a run. Five mums turned up that first night and it proved to be the start of a quite incredible journey. Fitmums & Friends has now spread to South & North Yorkshire too thanks to the work of an amazing team of volunteers passionate to help others become more active and feel more connected.

πŸ”₯β˜• Join us THIS Sunday 18 October for our next CafΓ© Run with CafΓ© Norah, Cottingham.

With the Yorkshire Marathon Festival taking place, it's the perfect opportunity to get up, get your miles done, and then spend the rest of the day cheering on our fellow Fitmums & Friends members taking part in the Marathon and 10 Mile events.

Whether you're heading into York to spectate, tracking friends on the app, or settling down on the sofa to follow the action, you'll be able to do so knowing you've already got your own run in and stretched your legs for the day!

πŸƒ In partnership with the lovely folks at CafΓ© Norah, we'll meet at 8:15am outside the cafΓ© for a warm-up before heading out in friendly, supported groups.

βœ… Choose from 1 to 6 miles
βœ… Friendly, supportive groups led by Fitmums & Friends leaders
βœ… A great way to start your Sunday before supporting our Yorkshire Marathon runners

β˜• Stay afterwards for a coffee, pastry or brunch. CafΓ© Norah are opening early just for us!

No need to pre-order your breakfast.
