APRIL SOCIAL RUN

The last llandrindodlife social run was held on February 19th. This was a highly successful event with many different people from within the community coming together for a little trot around the town. 

As expected, there were some experienced runners who attended who have been pounding the streets around Llandrindod Wells for a few years. There were also some ladies from the local very successful 'Just Move; Walk to Run' group which meets every Monday night and has over 200 signed up members! Nevertheless, there were also some newbie runners who came along to this social run and it was truly amazing and rewarding to witness them running further than they ever have before!

As this was such a successful event, I have decided to organise more frequent llandrindodlife social runs.

The next social run will be on April 8th. Like the February event; meet at Llandrindod Wells Lake for a 10am start. 

What: LLANDRINDODLIFE SOCIAL RUN



When: Saturday 8th April 2017



Where: Meet at Llandrindod Wells Lake for a 10am start



Route: Approx 4/5 miles on the roads around the town. Everyone runs together with planned stops and chances to regroup. No one will be left behind!



Free event but donations always welcome (Look out for the yellow donation box)



Enjoy a yummy 9Bar after the run!



I hope lots of people will come to this event and use the sport of running to become healthy and active whilst having fun getting to know different people from within the community.

All that's left to say is after reading this I would be grateful if you could please tell people about this event. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell a stranger you see running down Middleton Street! Please also share on social media to help spread the word. This is always very much appreciated!

I look forward to running with you all on April 8th!

LLANDRINDODLIFE FEBRUARY SOCIAL RUNNING EVENTS

I have some exciting news for the people of the Llandrindod Wells community, with the announcement of some up and coming llandrindodlife running events!

First off is the next edition of the llandrindodlife social runs, which will be held on Sunday 19th February.

The Boxing Day Social Run was a big success with many people coming along to burn off some of their Christmas calories. Although (hopefully) there will be no extra calories to burn off, I hope lots of people will come along to this run as it is so great to have members of the community getting to know each other better through the sport of running. I am a firm believer that running is a social sport as much as it can be individual and can be used to pull people together to create something special.

During the February Half Term, I will also be holding a community running event tailored to children. 

Every Wednesday is the llandrindodlife children's running group from 4-5pm so I thought during half term, it would be great to organise something a bit different for the children within the community to enjoy. 

What: LLANDRINDODLIFE CHILDREN'S OFF ROAD ADVENTURE

When: Wednesday 22nd February 2017, 2:30-4:30pm

Where: Meet at Llandrindod Wells Lake for an afternoon of exploring the woods and paths above the Lake towards the top of Llandrindod Wells Golf Course.

£4 per child, which includes a snack bar after the adventure

All children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult.

Email llandrindodlife@gmail.com for a consent form, print the picture below of just fill one out on the day. There are limited places available so I advise you to get the consent forms in quick!



Any child is welcome to this event. They do not have to already be attending the weekly children's running group. 

I hope that through this child focused event, children can build friendships, enjoy being healthy and active in the fresh air and become inspired to hopefully run and explore the local area more often!

Although I enjoy running on the roads; running on the trails and exploring the hills of Mid Wales is my real passion so I hope I can pass this on to the children of the community.

If you have any questions about either of the events, please do not hesitate to contact me. You can use the contact form to the left of this post, get in contact via the llandrindodlife social media pages or email me directly.
