NEW – Ripon Running Club Launches in September

19 Aug 2026

Looking for a gentle, friendly way to get active and build your confidence? A new Ripon Running Group is launching this September with Mind in Harrogate District, offering a welcoming introduction to running for beginners and anyone returning to exercise.

The weekly sessions starts from Thursday 17 September at 10:30am, meeting outside the Jack Laugher Leisure & Wellness Centre in Ripon.

Whether you have never run before, have been away from exercise for a while, or simply want to get moving in a supportive environment, this group is designed for you.

Sessions will take place at a comfortable, gentle pace, combining walking with short bursts of running as little as 30-seconds at a time. Gradually building fitness, stamina and confidence, without any pressure to keep up.

It is a great opportunity to meet new people, get outdoors and enjoy the benefits of becoming more active, all at a pace that feels right for you.

The group is free to book, so why not give it a try?

Thursday 17 September | 10:30am
Meeting point: Outside Jack Laugher Leisure & Wellness Centre, Ripon
Free to book: 01423 503335 or office@mindinharrogate.org.uk
