Daytime running groups?

I am disappointed that the running clubs are all in the evenings! I don't like leaving it until late in the day and like to be with family in the evenings. Also, now it is dark, they have to go on the paths and I like to have my legs on grass if I can as this is more fun and less impact on my joints. Of course lots of people work but I would think there are lots of people who are available in the day and we could be more adventurous about where we go, what do u think??

Thank you. I will go to another evening club for now as I want to learn how they do them. I am booked on an Assistant Leader course in November, maybe I will start one. Would need to pat £150 to become a certified leader but get £50 back if I start a group. It is with Jog Northants and Sports England. Would love to see people get into running who might not otherwise try it

Why don't you start your own little social gathering during the day for like minded people -'in the same situation? There must be some?
