There is now an all female running group in Croydon.

Croydon Harriers have launched its first ever running group of its kind in an effort to get more women to go on park runs.

'Couch to Parkrun' is a free group, open to everyone from new runners to seasoned veterans.

A spokeswoman for the group said: "All these sessions are run by our experienced coaches, run in a relaxed environment and open to all abilities.

"These runs will put you well on the way to completing your first parkrun or indeed lowering your current parkrun personal best."

The runs take place at Lloyd Park at 10am every Sunday until December 17 and all women 11 years and up can join in.
