Run Grangetown
A resident led running group in Grangetown.
The idea
Fifty Grangetown residents were offered free places at the 2016 IAAF/Cardiff University World Half Marathon and were provided support and training by staff from Cardiff University’s Healthcare Sciences and Run Wales.
Following the half marathon Community Gateway supported the development of a local running club to maintain the momentum and enthusiam of novice runners from Grangetown.
Progress
Run Grangetown was launched in November 2016. The group is entirely resident led, meeting one evening a week and members also take part in weekend Park Runs. The group has over 180 members that follow activities on social media and join in with events around the year.
Next steps
To encourage new members and lead more local Park Runs as well as fundraising for the Grange Pavilion rebuild.
