The Panaga Athletics Section - PANAS

PANAS is a relaxed, informal section of men and women, and occasionally children, of all abilities who enjoy a jog in the evenings.

The section meets at the Beach Shelter (at the back of the Panaga Club) on Mondays and Fridays for a fairly prompt 5.30 pm start. The route is decided by the vocal majority, and we all set off as a slow moving group to warm up. How far you run is up to you.

Normally the group will keep together for the first two kilometres or so, after which those wishing to run faster and longer will separate from the rest.

Please remember that this is a social activity and it’s always more fun to run with somebody of a similar pace. New joggers are welcomed.

If you would like to know more about PANAS you can visit their website or email via the Contact page.
