Beginners running sessions for adults (16+)
Registration for our next programme beginning on Saturday 6th September 2025 is now OPEN. Use the enrolment form below if you want to join us (and make the payment to confirm your booking). Please use the enquiry form below if you have any other queries.
Our Couch to 5k programme is designed to support you whatever your current level of activity and fitness.
- If you’re someone who has done little to no physical activity before we can help.
- If you have exercised previously and want to take that step back to fitness we can help you too.
Our UKA qualified coaches and leaders will support you throughout. The sessions will gradually build your fitness and your confidence and will finish when you run a measured 5km by taking on the Tavy 5k race on 15th November 2025.
Everyone (16+) is welcome – there is no upper age limit. We meet at the Tavistock Athletic Club running track at Tavistock College – 8:50am every Saturday morning for a 9am start (apart from the 3rd Saturday of each month which is Tavy 5k race day). Just bring your trainers and any clothes you’re comfortable exercising in.
Cost – £15 which includes the entry fee for the Tavy 5k race to complete your programme. The £15 will also be taken off anyone who becomes a full member of Tavistock Athletic Club after completing this C25k programme.
