Romsey Road Runners
Romsey Road Runners is an amateur running club, encouraging runners of all experience and abilities. We offer a programme of training, racing and social events, and there is no pressure to do any more than you feel capable of doing. There is, however, lots of encouragement from like-minded people who understand the joys and pain of running.
Steady and Strong
The Hampshire ‘Steady & Strong’ community exercise programme is designed to help older people regain and maintain strength, balance and coordination. Through being active, the chances of keeping mobile, staying independent and preventing falls are significantly increased. Active people are more likely to have better mood, be less anxious, have better memory, sleep better and have more social contacts.
The group meets weekly in Village Hall on a Tuesday from 1.15 to 2.15
