New campaign will help people exercise in public 'fear free'
A CAMPAIGN to help people 'run without rudeness' has been launched.
The Exercise Our Freedom (#ExerciseOurFreedom) campaign is delivered by South Wales Police and partner agencies Welsh Athletics, Run Wales, Sport Wales, Welsh Cycling and Ramblers Cymru.
The campaign aims to raise awareness that unwanted and derogatory comments or intimidating behaviour directed at those exercising - whether sprinting, cycling, or simply strolling - is not acceptable.
Chief Constable of South Wales Police, Jeremy Vaughan, said: “I hate the idea that anyone should be put off enjoying our fabulous towns, cities and countryside when exercising for fear of being intimidated by harassment or by insults.
