Event details

• The course will be marshalled and signposted throughout. 5K will take anywhere from 30 minutes, for an experienced runner, to 60 minutes, if being walked.
• Supporters who want to come and cheer you on are very welcome!
• Light refreshments will be available to purchase on the day.
• The event is on a working airfield, therefore we ask that you do not bring dogs other than support dogs for assistance as they WILL NOT be permitted.
• Please be aware that some of the route is on rough or uneven ground, and can be muddy. We strongly advise you wear suitable, sturdy shoes and come prepared for the variable terrain.

Couch to 5K Training Plan

Couch to 5K is a free running plan for absolute beginners. It was developed by a new runner, Josh Clark, who wanted to help his 50-something mum get off the couch and start running, too. The plan involves 3 runs a week, with a day of rest in between, and a different schedule for each of the 9 weeks.
