A free beginner running group is helping build confidence and community spirit, one step at a time.
The Migo to 3 Mile programme, launched by Migo Run Club to coincide with the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, drew more than 40 participants to its first session at Muirend playing fields.
Led by qualified athletics coaches and open to runners of all abilities, including those who have never tried running before, the group aims to help participants run three miles continuously by the end of the eight-week programme.

"A huge well done to everyone who came along.
"We can’t wait to see you all again next week."
