Free after-dark running club returns to Bisham Abbey

Bisham Abbey is once again supporting This Girl Can’s Let’s Lift the Curfew campaign this winter by offering a free evening running club taking place every Monday from 5pm – 6pm at the Little Marlow Athletics track.

The aim is to help women feel more confident while staying active during the winter. Research from This Girl Can shows that many women adjust their exercise habits in the darker months because of concerns about safety, with many opting for well-lit routes, avoiding certain areas or changing when and where they work out.

Sarah Berne, National Active Wellbeing Manager, for Bisham Abbey said: “As the evenings become darker, we know that some women can feel less confident exercising outdoors. By launching our free running club, we're providing a welcoming, supportive environment where people can stay active, connect with others and prioritise their wellbeing throughout the winter.

“The weekly runs, led by members of our fitness team, give participants the chance to exercise in a friendly group setting, helping to build confidence and encourage healthy habits all year round.

“While the initiative supports the aims of the Let’s Lift the Curfew campaign, everyone is welcome to join us and take a positive step towards improving their health and wellbeing."

The running club takes place every Monday from 5pm to 6pm and is a free session open to all, not just members of Bisham Abbey. To sign up for the running club, please contact the team on 0121 796 2330 or email [email protected].

Bisham Abbey is operated by Serco Leisure on behalf of Sport England.
