Skegness is a beautiful place to run all year round, whether to enjoy the isolation of the frozen boating lake in the Winter or to feel the coastal breeze along the beachside paths in the Summer. A run in our area can take in quiet rural roads or the bustling town centre and parks. We formed The Skegness Coasters as a way of bringing people together in a fun and casual way but with the aim of getting outdoors and helping us to keep fit!

Come along and join us on a Tuesday evening at The Vine Hotel and we'll do everything we can to ensure that you have somebody to run with and we'll find a route that will be suitable for you, whether you regularly run races or have just bought your first pair of trainers and would like to walk a mile or so. We both remember what is was like the day we went out for our first run in the area, so let us help you to make a start too!

Sandy: My family has a history of heart disease, so I wanted to get fit this year. I began by running and walking in January 2010 with a friend, although when I started, I could barely run at all! We built up the distance together and have recently completed my first race - the Lincoln 10k in a time of 1 hour 10 minutes and 15 seconds. Neil: I've always been interested in sports, but when I moved to the area I'd just finished at university and wasn't in great physical shape! A friend, who was a runner, asked if I'd like to run the Lincoln 10k with her (I think this was 2002 but it's so long ago now!) and from barely being able to run a mile I managed to get round in about 52 minutes and have been running on and off ever since. I completed my 6th City of Lincoln race this year in a time of 44'13, my best ever! I'm now looking to enter more races including some half-marathons this year and it would be great to find some more people to run with and support, or people who can push and help to motivate me!

With Spring upon us now, why not get out and enjoy the beautiful Lincolnshire coast in the best way? On foot!  Skegness is a beautiful place to run all year round, whether to enjoy the isolation of the frozen boating lake in the Winter or to feel the coastal breeze along the beachside paths in the Summer.
