Running
MOVE running sessions
Running can be hard, so we recommend starting small and building up your distance. Our drop-in sessions are designed for anyone who wants a run or jog, wants to increase their running ability or even try running for the first time.
Don't worry about not being fast enough – the group moves at different paces to suit every individual and you'll never be left on your own. So grab your trainers and join a group. These sessions are suitable for beginners and intermediates, and are free. You don't need to be a member of our MOVE programme to take part.
There are weekly running clubs held on UWE campuses, check the MOVE section on the UWE Bristol Sport app for weekly sessions.
