Couch to 5K
Your Running Journey Starts Here in Beeston!
Have you ever spotted someone out running and thought "I wish I could do that" but you're just not sure how to get started? With our 10 week Couch to 5K programme at Runspire Beeston it's simple, sociable and fun!
Starting at the lovely Canalside Heritage Centre our supportive Run Leaders take you on a trundle down the Big Track by the river Trent. It's not just a great way of getting into fitness and making new friends but a fantastic opportunity to get out in nature and see some of Nottingham's flora and fauna! It's also a great spot to sample some of Nottingham's finest coffee and baking at The Heritage Centre where we finish our run.
Funded places are available to eligible people thanks to Nottingham Mind. Check out their Well-Community page here https://nottinghamshiremind.org.uk/well-community/, otherwise sessions are just £2 pay on the day by cash or card. Come as you are. Leave feeling inspired.
Participant story from one of our runners:
“I was nervous at first, but the support was unreal. I’d never run before, but now I can run 5K and I feel amazing – physically and mentally!”
