Over 12 weeks you build up your jogging and running from a walk (no previous experience necessary) and celebrate week 12 by joining Wolverhampton parkrun which is a weekly 5k (3.1 miles) run around West Park.
At the end of the session, Jolly Joggers past and present join for tea in the Café (optional) which is a great way to get to know new people and to make new friends.
