Local residents get together to get Streatham fit

12:11pm Wednesday 11th January 2012 in Streatham

In the year of the Olympics and with obesity levels at an all time high, Streatham residents have got together to launch a new running club. The 'Streatham Tuesday Night Running Club' does exactly what it says on the tin - a chance for local people to get off their sofas, stop watching TV and get fit. One of the founders, Dominic Collard, a county runner and 6 time marathoner, says: "Many people start the new year with good intentions to get fit, but don't want to pay high gym prices, and athletics clubs seem too serious. It's hard to do it yourself, so we hope our little club will give those folk the support and friendship they need."
