Our group runs
We arrange our runs throughout the park, depending on weather conditions and the state of the trails. Our core runs are usually about 4 miles (6km) in length over hilly terrain although depending on size of group and number of run leaders available we may offer a slightly longer route (5-6 miles) in addition (these will be advertised on the Lyme Runners closed Facebook group (you’ll be invited to join it once you’ve been out with us).
