Hey, I'm Molly!

​

It's safe to say I was never into running as a child. My experiences of running and exercise in general had only been negative.

​

My amazing Grandad has ran over 100 marathons, and the older I got the more interested I was in this. So, I started running casually in my early teens. Despite the initial apprehension, my memories of beginning to run are only positive - the feeling of fresh air whizzing through your hair, feet pounding the pavement in time with your favourite song, and the freedom it brings.

​

As girls, it's a sad fact that we think twice before we head out on a run (or to do most things for that matter). Is it safe, do I feel comfortable, what do I do, what will people think when they look at me - it can be really daunting.

​

So, I founded These Girls Run in October 2021 when - after a gloriously sunny summer - I remembered again just how cold and dark our UK winters are. I was once again aware of how on edge I can be when running in the dark, and craved company and a chat to get through the dark mornings and nights. It's no secret that I wanted to make more friends in the area too, and that's exactly what happened!

​

Fast forward to now and our community is so strong. From complete beginners, marathon runners, and everything in between. We all come together to enjoy the freedom of running, make new friends, stretch it out in yoga and drink coffee

​

We would love you to join us too! 

And we promise to always make it as...

Safe

Sweaty

Supportive

as you want it to be!

Lots of love x
