Hi everyone,

I'm Jim. a 52 old wrinkly who want s to get back into running after about 18 months of doing virtually nothing.

We relocated to Leiceestershire, and I think Hinkly is probably the nearest town with a running club, but welcome any advice or training partners who are interested.

Hi Jim,

Hinckley does have a running club. Not certain how many members they have, but they are the largest in the immediate area.

I myself run with Desford Striders. We are a smallish, but friendly, club of approx. 55 members and have runners of all abilites.

we've just got a website online, you can find it here: Desford Striders

Our club night is Thursday and we meet at Sport in Desford (opposite the Caterpillar site) at 18.45.

Good luck in finding somebody to run with.

Hi Jim.
You're in good company. There's lots of us wrinklies (coffin dodger in my case) around. You'll soon get to recognise us.
