Times: Wednesday 6:15pm for 6:30pm start

Training Group for: Beginners and those wishing to start afresh.

About us:
The Swinton Running Club Beginners Group is designed for absolute beginners or those who are coming back to running after some time away and want to start from fresh.

Over a ten week course we will work from your first running steps up to completing a 5km run with the option to take part in a race over this distance if you’re ready.

With an emphasis on providing a friendly supportive atmosphere and encouraging each runner to develop at their own pace we hope that the end of the ten weeks will mark the start of the rest of your running journey.

Group Leaders

Barbara Bayless

Barbara has been running for more years than she cares to remember, but only joined Swinton Running Club in 2003. Running with likeminded people opened up a whole new world of running and socialising.
These days she’s very much a back of pack runner, running for sheer fun and fitness.
Barbara is excited at the prospect of helping others to take the first steps in their running careers.

Rebecca Mills

Rebecca started running in January 2008 when she entered the Great North Run in an ill advised fit of New Years Resolution making. She joined Swinton Running Club later the same year and now competes regularly for the club both at road races and in cross country.
Rebecca is currently also Ladies Team Captain for the club. Despite this she continues to be very much a mid pack plodder and is regularly beaten at races by octogenarians, small children and dogs.
Rebecca looks forward to working with the beginners group to encourage more people to become involved in the sport she loves

Both Barbara and Rebecca have completed the Leader in Running Fitness course.
