Whitehaven running club marks first year with free 5K

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 13:33 · Archive

Whitehaven's 180 Run Club is holding a free 5K run on 15 October to mark its first anniversary.

Whitehaven's 180 Run Club is marking its first year with a free five-kilometre run. The event will set off from the Harbour Master at 6pm on Thursday 15 October, welcoming runners of all abilities.

The club was founded by local runner Siobhan Woods, who began running 18 months ago. Woods said she wanted to create 'a club where nobody feels left behind' and to bring fitness and community together. The name 180 refers both to turning your life around mid-run and a running cadence of 180 steps per minute.

The club's first meet-up at the Harbour Master attracted more than 40 runners. Woods said: 'I stayed until the last person returned, and it was amazing to see everyone chatting, having a drink, and cheering each other on. The community was born!' The club meets most weeks and is free to attend. Members can find details through the club's Instagram, Facebook, Strava and WhatsApp pages.
