“Our mission is simple,” said a club spokesman.

“We want to bring the sport of running to all from mums, dads, grandparents, those with two left feet.

“We want to take the scariness out of the sport and encourage all, particularly those struggling with health issues, to come along and give it a try.  
“We operate not-for-profit, and any surplus funds are reinvested in the Club, or used to encourage others into the sport of running.”
