Club news

Let’s chat about Bernie, a vibrant 79-year-old who joined our Redway Runners beginner’s group.

Bernie didn’t let age stereotypes hold him back and instead asked, “Am I too old for this?” We told him age is no obstacle to running, and guess what? He graduated from our course, completing his first 5K parkrun!

From there, Bernie’s love of running took off. He’s now done four half marathons and lots of club activities, and he runs a 10 miles or more every Sunday, gearing up for another half marathon. We’re excited as he hopefully sets his sights on the Fuengirola Half Marathon in November during our club trip.

Even a health scare couldn’t slow Bernie down. His doctor thinks his fitness level helped his recovery. Bernie gives credit to being a Redway Runner, calling it his lifesaver, which really warms our hearts.

Bernie’s story is a beautiful example of the changes that can happen when you sign up for our beginner’s courses, more start this September.

We can’t promise it’ll be a lifesaver like Bernie’s, but it could definitely be a life-changer. We’d love to have you join us on this journey.
