Barrow Beginners Couch to 5K

Our next Couch to 5K programme will start in the second week of January 2025, led by an experienced UK Athletics coach. We will follow the NHS Couch to 5km programme which is designed to take people from walking to running a 5km in nine weeks. The programme is completely FREE to attend.

Starting 13 Jan, we'll meet every Tuesday for the first run of the week, and then you'll do two more runs on your own each week, following guidance from the coach and/or using the C25K app. At end of the programme, we'll have a graduation run at Watermead parkrun to celebrate completion.

We run on pavement in a well lit area, so all you need are trainers and comfortable clothing.

Numbers are limited to twenty people, so if you want to get involved, check the details below are okay for you, and get in touch.

When: Tuesday evenings at 18:30
Where: Meet outside the Costa, near ALDI on Allendale Road, Woodthorpe
First session: Tuesday 13 January
