Graduation for our new runners from the Doncaster Pacers
We have had a amazing year with our beginner running group, the Doncaster Pacers. We have introduced about 120 people to running and lots have stayed on with us to join Doncaster AC. Some have gone on to run 5k (over 20 Pacers did the Doncaster 5k!), 10k, half marathons and full marathons! We regular see them running at the Doncaster parkrun as well.
The latest group to graduate did so on Thursday 6 November and they are invited to join our intermediate group where we will work with them to build them up to a hour of running and beyond. 9 weeks ago most of the group could not run and they are all running for 30 minutes now, well done all!
