Formed in 1998 the “Limpers” as they are affectionately known have evolved into one of the largest running clubs in the area. The juniors (primary 3 to S1) concentrate on an introduction to all aspects of running, jumping and throwing using the junior Jogscotland resources, whilst the secondary groups focus on sprinting and cross country running. The senior groups are coached in endurance running which allows them to prepare for road, fell, hill and cross country running. The group is famous for their social runs and for the many events organized through the year which attracts runners from all over the area and beyond. All coaching sessions are designed to be inclusive for all abilities and new members are always welcome.
