Join the Olympics England 3-2-1 Run from Thame – Nov 6, 2010

GO Active in South Oxfordshire, along with Thame Town Council, is launching the first Run in the England 3-2-1 programme in the county.

Run in England 3-2-1 is an England Athletics? initiative designed to get people across the country into running and has been granted the Inspire Mark, the badge of the London 2012 Inspire Programme.

As the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games inspire people to get active, Run in England 3-2-1 brings accessible and beginner-friendly running routes across the country. Signposted routes with markers at three, two and one miles give people the opportunity to challenge themselves and build their fitness as they look to progress the speed at which they walk, jog or run.

In partnership with Run in England, GO Active set up more than 12 social running groups across South Oxfordshire and wants to involve even more people by setting up the 3-2-1 routes locally.

Seb Coe, Chair of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games said: “Run in England 3-2-1 is encouraging everyone in the community to take up the challenge to fulfil their potential. I am proud that with the help of partners such as Run in England 3-2-1 we are delivering on our vision to use the power of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games to boost participation in running at all levels.”

The 3-2-1 routes in Thame will start from Thame Leisure Centre and will officially be opened on Saturday, 6 November, at 10am by Thame Mayor, Adam Buckland and local running group Running Buddies.
