TOWN councillor Damion Godwin was not satisfied with starting just one running group in Devizes so instead he has created different sections to appeal to people of all abilities.

Devizes Running Friends In Training meets on Tuesday evenings at different locations depending on where the run will take place. A Facebook page gives members the start point each week. There is also a junior section.

Mr Godwin, who recently passed his coaching qualification, is now starting a beginners course on January 7 which will take place on Mondays at 6.15pm and Saturdays at 4pm starting from outside Devizes Treatment Centre in Marshall Road.

The course will cost £25 but money will go to charities and good causes. Mr Godwin said: "We are a friendly group of people who love to run and socilaise, no one gets left behind on runs and we encourage a positive and supportive culture no matter pace, ability or experience.

"The beginners course will work towards a 5k over 10 weeks."

Tonight (December 20) a festive run will start at Devizes Leisure Centre at 7pm for a five mile run with optional fancy dress.
