Everyone is welcome and there is a good selection of runners of all abilities. There is always someone who is willing to run as long or as short a distance as you want. Advice will be given by the more senior runners by those who wish to take up competitive running. Otherwise, for those that are running for other reasons such as weight loss or fitness, or just for the fun of it, then the choice is yours.

What to wear
The most important purchase for a runner is getting the right pair of shoes that suit your feet. Without getting too technical, everyone has their own running gait and what shoe suits one person may not suit another. Therefore, its worth going to a shop that specialises in running gear, especially one that has a running machine where they can analyse your style of running and recommend an appropriate shoe. Spend some time and money on getting the right pair of running shoes. Your body will thank you.

There is now a wide range of running apparel available at running shops, from light weight garments to keep you cool in the summer to light weight thermal body cover to keep you warm in the winter. Again its up to individual choice but the golden rule is to be comfortable.
