<p>Headlines for Mules is a weekly social-pace 5km trail run every Sunday morning (8:30 meet for 8:45 set-off) starting and ending at Canteen at Mount Hawke, so it&#8217;s run&gt;coffee&gt;almond croissants. Super inclusive. Once a month they now do a slightly longer &#8220;Magical Mystery Tour&#8221; to allow them to get out to the coast path. Mixed group.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-local-running-clubs-in-cornwall">Local Running Clubs in Cornwall</h2>



<p>A bit of a hybrid, but worth checking out your local group for social runs too. For example, while they also do serious runs for people properly into it, my local running club in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wadebridge_running_club/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wadebridge</a> has weekly Wednesday runs for everyone including people who just want to walk, some shorter Sunday runs further afield, as well as regular local social run outings &#8211; e.g. runs to Padstow and bus back after the pub. Falmouth Running Club has a Saturday social run. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-parkrun-various-locations-across-cornwall">Parkrun, various locations across Cornwall</h2>



<p>Another hybrid, as you can&#8217;t guarantee everyone isn&#8217;t out there for a PB and going flat out against their timing device, but most people aren&#8217;t, and anyone can and does turn up and run (or walk) the accessible 5km route. Bonus is you won&#8217;t get left on the course, no matter how slow you are, and routes are signposted so don&#8217;t worry about getting lost.
