A NEW YEAR offers a chance for new experiences, something the ‘Rock’n’Road Runners’ run club is hoping to capitalise on.

The club is offering a new six-week introductory running programme targetted specifically at trail running, starting this Saturday.

The programme is aimed at those who are already active and able to run for 30 minutes. But the club warmly encourages others to consider the Jersey Sport ‘Couch to 5k’ programme.

All paces of runner are welcome and participants will be encouraged to walk the hills and enjoy the outdoors and the friendly group atmosphere.

The six-week programme kicks off this Saturday 10 January at 9am, meeting at the front entrance of the Les Quennevais Sports Centre, before heading off along the railway path.

Those interested can find out more and sign up for free at https://race-nation.co.uk/register/rock-n-road-runners/intro-to-trails or by Googling “Intro to Trails – RaceNation”.

Rock’n’Road Runners also host other weekly runs: an intervals session, a trail run and a road run as well as club membership.

You can find out more about these on the club’s website https://rocknroadrunners.je or find them on Instagram @rocknroadrunners.
