Running

Community Fit is a local activity group based in Harrogate, they meet as a group on a Wednesday 5.45pm until 8pm.

Our aim is to create a community of local people who meet to be social and active while giving an hour or so of their time each week to help other people.

We connect activity and community through regular group sessions during which people will run, walk or cycle together from our base to a community group or charity where we help out before heading back to base.

Helping out can be anything from sorting donations to moving furniture, painting, tree planting,  or litter picking.

A typical session would be:

  • 5.45-6pm group warm up
  • 6-6.20pm group run or walk to the specific destination (usually around 2-2.5km)
  • 6.20-7.20pm undertake volunteering task (eg gardening, litter picking, painting, tidying)
  • 7.20-7.45pm group run or walk back to the base
  • 7.45pm-8pm Group cool-down session
  • 8pm (optional!) group social to the pub.

You do not have to be a brilliant athlete to come along to a session. Many members power walk instead of running and we never leave anyone behind. Faster runners circle round and do relays so that we stay as a group.

You do not have to commit to every session. You book on as and when it works for you.

Chief Mumbler Sally joined the group in September 2023 and since then has helped out at a lot of local charities & organisations including:

Harrogate Homeless Project (Wesley Church town centre): Gardening * 2

Artizan Cafe (town centre): Helped decorate for Christmas

Harrogate BID (town centre): Litter pick
