ORGANISERS of the inaugural Heathcote Running Club run were pleased with the number of participants who joined them last Saturday.<\/p>\n
Participants ran along a five-kilometre course through Heathcote and finished with coffee at Fodder.<\/p>\n
“It was really good to have so many people join us for the first run,” said co-organiser Nicky Walker.<\/p>\n
“Everyone ran at their own pace. There was no pressure; everyone could just rock up and do as much or as little as they wanted.<\/p>\n
“We all have different goals and reasons for running. It’s all about doing something positive, for a specific goal or just for yourself.<\/p>\n
“Best of all it’s free so anyone can participate.”<\/p>\n
Runners met beside Barrack Reserve for a stretch and warm-up before the run.<\/p>\n
“We planned a course around the town and some participants did the whole five kilometres while others took a shorter route.<\/p>\n
“Participants don’t have to run every week and whether you run, walk or push a pram, everyone is welcome.<\/p>\n
“We would love to see whole families involved.”<\/p>\n
Douglas Thornton said it was great to see everyone encouraging each other.<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t matter what level you are at, you can just get out and have a go.<\/p>\n
“The whole group was really supportive and positive.”<\/p>\n
