Aston Chasers
Looking to try something new for 2024? Aston Chasers’ new couch to 5km course starts Tuesday 9th January!
If you know anyone that might be interested* in starting running or getting back into it with an awesomely supportive and encouraging group of ladies, please share!
We run from the lower car park of Swallownest Health Centre at 19:00. The course lasts for 8 weeks and the cost is £25, which includes an Aston Chasers club vest upon graduating.
You couldn’t be in better hands!

*Sign up spaces at the moment are for FIRST-TIMERS ONLY. We would encourage anyone interested who has taken part in the Chasers couch course in the past to message us and be added to a reserves list. Once we’ve given first-timers a chance to sign up, we will then allocate any additional spaces to people on the reserves list on a first come, first served basis.
