Love Running, Hate Networking - third Wednesday of the month

Love running, hate networking and are a small business owner/director?

Then why not come along to a free run where you can network while you run. It’s run (mind the pun) by me Chris Pearson, as I see the need/benefit for networking but don’t love it, so this helps me enjoy networking a little more.

Ping me an email, or check out the Facebook Group, if you might be interested and I will share the distance (likely 5-7km), pace and other details (like snow or man flu means no run) each month. No sign up, no cost, no forced pitching, just like minded people mulling over business issues/ideas and hopefully generating sales for each other. You can stay for a coffee after or not, completely up to you and no pressure.

Where: Car park of Café in the Park, Beggarwood, Basingstoke RG22 4AQ

Time: 9.30am - third Wednesday of the month

Cost: Free
