There is no racing here!
Our Runs to Interesting Places are designed for those who like to run in company without the stress of competing in a race. Stop watches are no where to be seen and the only time to track is making sure we hit the lunch venue for our booked table.
Our Runs are suitable for all abilities. The overriding principle is that everyone starts and finishes together. During the Runs the faster may go on a little or find an opportunity to so some speed work up a hill. But any gap is soon closed up as the faster group wait for those who are not so fast. These are social runs and there are many opportunities to regroup, enjoy the view and chat!
