Beginner and Slower Runner Group

The YTRRC Beginner and Slower Runner Group meets at Yeovil Town FC each Tuesday at 6.30 p.m., for longer runs at 9.00 a.m. most Sundays and there are dedicated track sessions on alternate Friday evenings at 6.30 p.m. See Beginner and Slower Runner Group page, the club calendar or Twitter announcements (on the home page) for updates.

In addition to the Tuesday evening group there are also dedicated beginner and slower runner track sessions at the Yeovil Athletics Arena on alternate Friday evenings at 6.30 p.m. (taken by Tim Hawkins, his work schedule allowing).

Finally there is also a series of designated races for this group.

The group operates under the guidance of experienced Yeovil Town RRC member Debbie Neal who will give support, or arrange a "buddy" to give support, to anyone who needs it. It is open to anyone, from complete beginners to those who already run but don't feel confident in joining the main club runs. You do not need to be a member of the club and there is no charge.

Pub Runs
