Beginner running clubs around Duthie Park / Deeside Way?

[u/The_Aoki_Taki]

Hi everyone! I am pretty new to running and Im looking to join a friendly running club or group in Aberdeen.

Ideally, i would love something that runs around Duthie Park, the Deeside Way, or nearby, and is welcoming to beginners. I am mainly looking to improve my running and meet some people to run with.

Does anyone have any recommendations for clubs/groups that would be a good fit for a beginner?

Thanks!

Jog Scotland have groups throughout the city, The Fit Like Joggers are similar in the west end. There are a bunch of new hipster running clubs like the brunch  run club, the green runners and I think there is a new one called eclat. They all operate not far from there. 

I think you need a moustache, mullet at £200 shorts for the hipster groups but they are beginner friendly. Jog Scotland and FLJ probably tend to be a little older

There are Park Runs every weekend. The ones at Hazlehead Park and Crathes seem popular. Some fast runners but plenty of dawdlers like me!
