Why Pay for Expensive Gym Membership when

you can join a cheaper and fun alternative?

Sevenoaks Ladies Joggers meet at Hollybush recreation ground in Sevenoaks. We are a bunch of ladies of all ages, sizes and abilities who like to run, chat and keep fit. We were formed over seven years ago and have a membership of over 200 ladies aged from 18 to 69.

In the last three years 16 ladies have trained for and completed the London Marathon, having never run before joining the group.

Many of the group are tempted by the challenge of a short race, but a lot of our members just like to run 3 to 5 miles once or twice a week and enjoy the social aspect of the group as much as the fitness. Some ladies who have joined the group have found it a life changing experience, either assisting them to lose weight, fight depression, gain confidence or just feel good about themselves again. And this is in addition to all the positive fitness benefits gained whilst enjoying the beauty of Knole Park and the surrounding Weald countryside.

Our coaching team is made up of qualified staff with many years of coaching and running experience between us. Our aim is to encourage and support you to achieve your individual goals.

Sam Palmer founded the group and runs it. She coaches regularly, as well as teaching fitball.

Shona Campbell coaches some of our main running group sessions and is our dedicated beginners coach.

Jo Kingston  is leading a half marathon training course this September over ten weeks as well as coaching many other runs.

Tina Sylvester, Michelle Baxter and Jane Haslam are our assistant coaches, helping to keep everyone happy at the pace they wish to run. All of them have experience in coaching, training and racing.

COST Membership of the group costs £30 per year and coached runs are £3.50 each. These runs are payable in blocks of ten to keep you motivated!
