Glasgow mental health running club on lookout for new faces to get involved

A Glasgow mental health running club has issued a call for more locals to pull on their running shoes and get involved.

Run, Talk, Run hosts free sessions across Glasgow throughout the week - all of which take the form of an easy-paced 5k jog.

Runners can take part in the east of the city (meeting at George Square), the southside (meeting at Pollock Park), the city centre (meeting at Fraser’s on Buchanan Street) and Glasgow University (starting at the Glasgow Uni grounds), as well as in Bearsden.

Speaking to Glasgow Live, leader Stacey Gray said: "As we’re coming into the lighter nights and better weather, it would be great to get some new faces along.

"Since starting with the club back in 2021 it’s given my mental health such a boost. It’s a lovely group of people and it’s really nice to get out for a run without the pressure of thinking you need to go fast. It’s all about the chat and supporting each other.

"I took over as a leader in Spring 2021 and it’s been so lovely meeting so many great people who have now become good friends. We’ve became a really good little community and often do other social events too - such as walking the West Highland Way and climbing Goatfell in Arran."

All runs are free and people are able to dip in and out at any time, with people able to view all of their runs via the “Heylo” app.

The full list of runs and days are:

- Monday’s: Glasgow East and Glasgow Bearsden

- Tuesday’s: Glasgow Southside

- Thursdays: Glasgow City Centre : Glasgow Bearsden Walk, Talk, Walk

- Fridays: Glasgow University
