Fitmums & Friends offers running sessions supported by trained volunteer run leaders. You choose your distance, from one to six miles, and go at your pace – our unique shepherding system ensures everyone stays together and no one is left behind.

Our sessions are friendly and fun, and support all abilities, from beginners to those who already exercise more regularly. Everyone is welcome – men and women and all ages (16+); no need to be a mum or fit!

Where, when, what...

Howden Fitmums & Friends meets at 7pm on Wednesday evenings at The Wellington Arms, (31 Bridgegate, Howden, Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire, DN14 7JG).

Initially, we are offering run distances of 1 to 4 miles, expanding to 1 to 6 miles at a later date. All distance groups are supported by a trained volunteer run leader who makes sure everyone can run at their own pace and no one is left behind. Our groups also include a ‘new/return to running’ 1 mile group for those who don’t yet feel comfortable running a mile non-stop – we use walk/run intervals to build stamina and confidence in this group.
