Jog Derbyshire is a network of friendly, social jogging groups spreading the length and breadth of the county – from the far tip of the High Peak to the South. The groups cater for everyone – regardless of age or ability – so even if you’re a complete beginner you’ll be welcomed with open arms.
All groups are led by fully qualified and super-friendly volunteer leaders and co-leaders. Whether you’re new to jogging, want to get back into it after a break or you want to improve your distance or speed, they’ll be able to guide you through it every step of the way.
When you join a group you become part of a family who support each other through all life’s ups and downs, make new friends and have a heap of fun along the way. If you want to be more competitive, enter races and enjoy extra benefits you can also join the Derbyshire Dynamos, a club run by our jog leaders and group joggers. What are you waiting for?
