Cllr Alex Miscandlon, portfolio holder for leisure for the Fenland District Council, urged the community to participate.
He said: “We encourage everyone to take a look at the Active Fenland timetable and see if there’s a session for them.
“Active Fenland is all about providing accessible, low cost and free wellness and activity to the whole community for the benefit of Fenland as a whole.”
Free family running sessions are planned between July 23 to August 27.
These will be held in March and Wisbech with age restrictions in place due to the certification of the instructors.
