Join The New Ripon Running Group!

Mind in Harrogate District are excited to announce the launch of their new Ripon Running Group.
📅 Thursdays at 10:30am
📍 Starting 17th September
🏃 Meeting outside Jack Laugher Leisure & Wellness Centre, Ripon

This friendly group is designed for adults who are absolute beginners or returning to exercise after a break, so it's perfect if you've never run before or are looking to rebuild your confidence and fitness.
Starting at a very gentle pace, combining walking with short bursts of running and gradually building confidence over time. In the beginning, the running sections may be as little as 30 seconds. There's absolutely no pressure, and you're encouraged to go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
One of the members said: "I loved the team atmosphere and the support. Mind in Harrogate are amazing and I am so thankful for them."

Whether you're looking to improve your fitness, boost your wellbeing, or simply meet new people, Mind would love to welcome you.
