A free and fully supported programme is launching to help beginners start their running journey.

The eight-week Migo to 3 Mile course starts on Monday, July 27 and is open to all abilities on Glasgow’s south side, with the aim of helping participants gradually work up to running three miles.

It is designed to be accessible to everyone, whether they have tried running before or are complete beginners.

Mikey Gowans, the keen runner who devised the new group, said: "I know from personal experiences what it takes to start running from little or no history of doing so, which is why we have created this free 8-week programme for beginners.

"We have sensed a demand for this locally in recent months and with the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games helping inspire people of all abilities, it’s the perfect time to launch Migo to 3 Mile and help people start their running journey.

"Most importantly, this new community will be fully supported, will enjoy a fun environment and will have access to qualified coaches who can answer their questions face-to-face.

"We’re so excited to get under way on Monday 27th – so bring your trainers, bring a friend and let’s get running together."

The first session will take place at 6pm on Monday, July 27, starting from Migo Sports at 511 Clarkston Road.
