Leading beginner joggers & training jog leaders
Jog Derbyshire is a county wide project which aims to encourage people to become fitter and be more active by starting to jog on a regular basis with people of similar fitness levels.
Our network of community based jogging groups led by a qualified Jog Derbyshire Leader guide anyone who is new to jogging or who has not run for a long time through a series of gentle walking and jogging programmes
Jog Derbyshire delivers community jogging groups across the county, providing support and advice to individuals, community groups and partner organisations to help set up groups in local community and workplace settings. We also organise training for all our Jog Leaders.

Jog Derbyshire is part of the Active Derbyshire campaign. The Active Derbyshire website has lots of ideas and advice on how you can become more active.

Don't worry about not having jogged before; we're here to help you start from the very beginning! Our safe, friendly and fun jog groups offer:
- Full support from your Jog Leader, who will encourage and guide you through a realistic training programme, and help you to improve steadily week by week.
- Value for money - some of our groups are volunteer-led at no cost to you. Others may require a small fee per session (but never more than £2)
- A Jog Derbyshire group to suit you – our groups cater for all abilities, shapes and sizes, so we’re sure we have something suitable for you, whether you’re a total beginner (and never jogged before) or someone who already does a little bit of jogging or running and wants help to improve.
- Community venues – our jog groups are based in a variety of venues, including leisure centres, work places, village halls, schools and community centres.
Our joggers also receive a log book, Enewsletters, discounts and promotions from partners and access to Jog Derbyshire merchandise through our on-line shop
