Our Couch to 5k programme (C25K) is designed specifically for beginners or people who have not been active for a while to gradually build up their running ability with the aim to run 5k or 30 minutes in just 9 weeks.

The sessions are ran by England Athletics qualified run leaders and coaches who will give you support and motivation throughout your journey. All of the sessions will be ran with you as the focus and the club will ensure you’re fully supported throughout.

The 2023 Couch to 5k will begin Tuesday 17th January 2023 and will finish on Saturday 18th March with a celebratory 5k run at our local Parkrun. There will be three sessions per week to attend with the club.

Once completed you will be offered the opportunity to join Washington Running Club as a full member and continue with your running goals, whether this be to run socially or train for the Great North Run and other events.

The cost of this 9 week programme is £15 which is payable to the club on sign up. See our Facebook page for further information and to join the 2023 programme.
