Couch to 5K Programme

A structured programme designed for anyone that is new to running, or wanting to return following injury or a time away from running or if you're simply looking for a new way to keep fit and healthy.

Our 2026 Programme Starts Tuesday 14th April

Join our Couch to 5K programme to build confidence, improve your fitness, and enjoy a supportive community that helps you go from beginner to 5K finisher at your own pace.

When is it?

Each Tuesday there will be an organised evening run led by a team of England Athletics qualified run leaders.

Where?

We will meet most Tuesdays at Whitby Leisure Centre at 5.55pm. The activity will start with a warm up, structured programme of walking and running, then followed with a cool down.

The Couch 2-5K Plan

Our programme of activity lasts for 10 weeks, finishing with a 5k run. As we meet weekly, there will be some homework runs to help you get to your 5k goal.

How Much Does it Cost?

It is priced at £10 which includes England Athletics insurance.

What do I Need?

Wear whatever feels comfortable for you to run in; tracksuit bottoms, trainers and a supportive bra if you need one.

Limited Spaces Available

Come join us, make new friends, and be part of an amazing, supportive running community!
