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 20th July 2024.
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, or 6:20pm for a 6:30pm start every Thursday evening. 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 the C25k programme.
