🏃‍♀️💜 OUR NEXT COUCH TO 5K IS COMING! 💜🏃‍♂️

Thinking about giving running a go? Or maybe you’re ready to get back into it after a break?

We’re excited to announce that our next 8-week Couch to 5K course starts on Wednesday 23rd September, and we’d love for you to join us! 🎉

🗓️ Start Date: Wednesday 23rd September
📍 Location: Bottom of Tesco car park, Ilkeston
⏰ Time: 6:30pm

Whether you’ve never run before, you’re getting back into running after a long break, or you’ve always wanted to give it a go but didn’t know where to start — this is your chance!

Over the 8 weeks, we’ll take things step by step, building your confidence, fitness and running ability in a friendly, supportive group. There’s no pressure to be fast, no judgement and no need to already think of yourself as a “runner” — just turn up and give it a go. 💪💜

And you won’t be doing it alone! Our brilliant volunteer jog leaders will be there every step of the way to encourage, support and hopefully have a laugh with you along the journey.

If you’re thinking “I’m not fit enough”, “I couldn’t run 5K” or “I’ve never done anything like this before” — that’s exactly who Couch to 5K is for! ❤️

By the end of the 8 weeks, you could be crossing that 5K finish line wondering how on earth you ever thought you couldn’t do it. 🥹🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
