Holland & Barrett launches beginner-friendly ‘Monday Miles’ run club in Manchester to support Sport Relief
Manchester residents are being encouraged to lace up their trainers and take part in a new beginner-friendly run club, launching on Monday July 21st as part of Holland & Barrett’s summer-long Sport Relief campaign.
Holland & Barrett has launched ‘Monday Miles’, beginner-friendlyrun clubs from stores across the UK to encourage people to take their first step into the world of running as a means of leading a healthier and happier lifestyle, while raising funds for Sport Relief.
Kicking off from the H&B store in Manchester on July 21st, the run will be hosted by The Running Charity which is funded by Comic Relief, who introduces young people that are experiencing homelessness to the power of fitness through their nationwide hubs.
Each H&B session will expertly coach all attendees through the course and teach them the positive benefits of running. The initiative is designed to encourage people who have never run before, or who might feel intimidated by traditional running groups, to take the first step, in a supportive, community-led environment.
Participants are encouraged to arrive at the store from 6:00pm, ready for a 6:30pm run start. Each session includes a warm-up led by expert coaches, before running along a planned route that loops back to the start location for the coaches to provide feedback while ensuring no one is left behind.
All runners will receive a goody bag upon the completion of the run worth up to £65, packed with H&B goodies to help keep attendees moving better, feeling stronger and recovering quicker long after the event.
Tickets cost just £5, with all proceeds going directly to Comic Relief to support vital mental health projects across the UK. As a thank you, attendees will also receive a £5 Holland & Barrett gift card on arrival to use in-store.
The Monday Miles initiative is part of Holland & Barrett’s commitment to promoting both physical and mental wellbeing in local communities. Further run clubs will be taking place across the UK this summer in London, Birmingham, Cardiff and Nottingham.
