Description

The traditional TNC Morning Run will be held on Tuesday, starting at 7am in front of the entrance to Brighton Pier. The run will cover a distance of 5km and last approximately one hour. We will head along the seafront, with pauses included to catch breath, chat with fellow runners and learn a bit about our host city. This is a great way to meet people that you might not otherwise come across at TNC. If you haven’t joined us on the run before, and are tempted, do come along. It will be a great social event and is a great way to get the mind alert for the sessions and discussions to follow that day.
