1609.201 - Couch to 5K

Couch to 5K is an introduction to running. We start by alternating between
walking and running to slowly build strength and endurance. After nine weeks, you will be ready to run (or run/walk) the Good Neighbor Festival 5K race at the end of August. The group trains together once per week and asks you to complete two weekly workouts on your own. No previous running experience necessary.
Race registration fee not included in the cost of the program.
