Team Bath AC will be a key partner in this great initiative to Get Bath Running. Get Bath Running is a a not-for-profit campaign for the local community in Bath & North East Somerset by local running event promoters and activators to promote and support available COVID-secure opportunities for running and fitness in the Bath area.
Why we are getting involved.
- Regular exercise (particularly outdoor exercise) and physical fitness will reduce your risk of catching COVID, and reduce the risk of serious outcome from COVID, whilst also supporting mental wellbeing
- We are fortunate in Bath to be surrounded by great running routes and open countryside
- Fitness levels plummeted in the UK since the first lockdown. What will our activity levels and the fitness of the nation look like in 6 months?
