Since joining Team Caterpillar I have made some wonderful friends and my passion for running has been made stronger by these people.
When we go out running there is always a lot of laughs but above all of that we have fun and with that we all meet our personal goals thanks to Dionne & the team.

What does Team Caterpillar mean to me? I joined during lock down as I had done a few park runs. I didn’t know what to expect as I had never joined a running team before.
I was welcomed by everyone. I love the ethics of Team Caterpillar, to have fun, to socialise and to educate.
"No one gets left behind" what a wonderful motto. I can’t say how much I am enjoying my running at the moment, I struggle but I am never fearful, I’ve pushed myself beyond my comfort zone and boy it feels good. Strong body strong mind. Thankyou Team Caterpillar

I joined Team Caterpillar in January 2020 starting their Couch to 5k group. I had done a bit of running on my own but wanted some help to learn how to pace myself and build on distance.
The group was fun and friendly, Dionne was a great coach helping all of us start our running journey.
Lockdown could've stalled my progress but with the online support I built from 5k to 10k.
Since then with the friend's I've made in the team I've reached my half marathon goal running virtual GNR in September.
I would never have gotten this far if it wasn't for Dionne and all the Caterpillars, this is a fun, social group with people of all abilities who give great advice, support and love to cheer each other on and I'm glad to be a part of it.

In January I couldn’t run to the end of the road! I was introduced to team caterpillar while half way through C25K.
What a difference it makes running with a group! Due to family commitments I don’t get out with the group nearly often enough, but with their virtual help and encouragement I’ve got up to 10k+.
The best part is I’d never met any of the group (other than one) and I’ve been welcomed and encouraged by everyone! I’d recommend Team Caterpillar to anyone.
