Couch to 5K
Your Running Journey Starts Here in Bulwell!
Runspire started life as Bulwell Runners in February 2022 and snowballed into the charity it is today, helping hundreds of people across Nottingham get into fitness.
Led by our supportive, qualified Run Leaders, we’ll help you go from walking to running at your own pace. There's no pressure and we never leave anyone behind. It's not just a great way to get into running but a great way to socialise and meet new people; our sessions are always really well attended.
You'll also find yourself exploring areas of Bulwell you might not know existed. From forested paths to disused slags heaps with panoramic views of the area, our run leaders aren't just coaches but local tour guides!
Sessions are just £2 pay on the day by cash or card. Come as you are. Leave feeling inspired.
Participant story from Bulwell:
“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!”
