TUESDAY
EASY PACED CONVERSATIONAL RUN
Our Tuesday sessions are held at a conversational pace, designed for all abilities. Every session starts with a pre-run warm up, followed by a 5KM conversational paced run and a post run social. Each week alternates between 5 locations in Thanet to keep our routes fresh and exciting.
