Whether it's a group fitness class at your local leisure centre or a run in the park with friends, being active in a group environment works wonders for your health, wellbeing and motivation to move more each day.
The Let's Get Moving Together page highlights different mass participation events and group activities taking place in Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland throughout the year!
What is a mass participation event?
The clue is in the name! These are large scale organised challenges open to everyone, meaning anyone can take part! Perfect for people new to physical activity, mass participation events are fun and inclusive, and focus on taking part and having a good time rather than the competitive element.
Did you know?
Research has shown that being involved in large events can dramatically improve an individual's attitude towards exercise, as they inspire participants to keep up fitness commitments long after the event has passed!
