New Slow Pace Running Group Set to Jog into Lincoln’s Heart

Title: Lincoln Set to Embrace New Slow-Paced Running Group

A new running group, intended for those who favor a more relaxed pace, is poised to make its entrance onto the streets of Lincoln. A local individual who found the rapid pace of existing running clubs to be too challenging has taken the initiative to create an informal, pressure-free running group for slower runners. The intention behind this initiative is to welcome newcomers, as well as those who prefer a more leisurely pace, typically between 7.30 to 8.30 minutes per kilometre.

The organiser has stressed that this is not a commercial venture, instead it is an effort grounded in community spirit to cultivate a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. Under the motto ‘no one left behind’, the group is designed to nurture social interaction through relaxed running activities and a supportive environment.

Plans are underway for weekend gatherings, with an open invitation for participants of all skill levels to join, regardless of their membership with any existing clubs. The warm welcome extends to all, from runners who mix walking and running, to those who prefer a casual pace.

Despite some local residents noting the plethora of running clubs in Lincoln and making suggestions like Lincoln Casual Runners, Just Run Club, or Nettleham Trotters for a less hurried pace, there is eager anticipation for this new laid-back cadre. One local resident voiced their interest, stating, ‘I am eager! I am looking to restart running but I am not brisk, so have felt deterred from joining a club.’

Born out of a longing for inclusivity and community engagement, this initiative reflects Lincoln’s lively running community. Regardless of whether you’re an experienced runner or a total beginner, this group offers an ideal opportunity to enjoy the stunning scenery of the city at a more measured pace.
