Myself, Rose and Janet recently attended a England Athletics course called “Run Leaders”.  We wanted to do this so as to attract new members to Doncaster Athletic Club, specifically senior road runners.  After the course we had several meetings and we are now ready to start the course.  We are calling the group Doncaster Pacers.

Full details can be found here:

We feel the course offers great value for money at £40 for a nine week course including 22 coached sessions, all the facilities at Doncaster Athletic Club (Changing Rooms, Showers, Toilets, Covered Stand, Free Car Parking, use of the 6 Lane Track, Social Evenings and Access to our Coaches) and at the end of the course £40 off the membership fee.  So any that join up will get the course and membership until 2015 for £65 (this includes a Doncaster AC vest valued at £15), and then they will pay the renewal fee (currently £40) for subsequent years.

The course starts on 4 February 2014 and we are currently taking names.

This is a big commitment from the run leaders as we are all competing members and we are going to lose our Tuesday and Thursday evening training sessions whilst we run the course but we are all very committed to the idea of introducing people who think they can’t run and helping them achieve their full potential.
