Monkey Runners is a social running group in the Monkseaton area and is part of the England Athletics Run England Scheme.  The group is for training as well as socialising. We take advantage of the running track as well as the whole local area and each week is a little bit different.  We will adapt the sessions so that people feel comfortable whether they are a complete beginner or a more experienced runner.   Each session costs £2 (cash on the night - 1st session free!).

Is this group the right level for me?

We try to cater for everyone's needs.  We don't think anyone would not be fit enough for the group as we can adapt the sessions but if we were worried that you may medically be unable to take part we would ask that you went to see your GP first. We encourage people to be build up to being able to run at least 10 -15 mins non stop  before coming along so that we can all jog to the destination of the session together.   If you are keen to progress from the group and feel ready to benefit more advance coaching we will help with the transition to a running club.  We are assoicated with  North Shields Poly which is an excellent local athletics club and members of this club can run with Monkey Runners for free,
