A County Durham retail park has partnered with sportswear giants Adidas to launch a 'walking club' at the site.

The new Adidas Walking Club, hosted at the store's Dalton Park outlet, is also offering the chance to win a pair of trainers in September simply by attending the sessions throughout the month.

Shoppers, staff, and local community members are all welcome, with the club aiming to offer an opportunity to foster connections while leading a healthier lifestyle according to organisers.

Richard Kaye, centre manager of Dalton Park, said: "We’re thrilled to introduce the Adidas Walking Club to Dalton Park Outlet.

"This initiative aligns perfectly with our centre being outdoors and the beautiful local community we’re based in.

"We look forward to seeing many local residents join us and take the first steps towards a healthier, more connected community."

The new initiative kicked off on July 23 and continues each Tuesday evening.

The three-mile route incorporates the retail park's picturesque Parklands.

Those interested in joining should meet outside Subway at the main entrance of Dalton Park Outlet at 6.30pm and should contact the Dalton Park Adidas store or visiting in person for more details.

An Adidas store manager said: "We’re excited to welcome everyone to our Walking Club.

"It’s all about bringing people together and supporting each other, whether they’re looking to improve wellbeing, find new friends, or simply enjoy a walk in the fresh air.

"We hope to see many local residents there!"
