Whether you’re completely new to running, coming back from injury, or just want to get fitter in a friendly, supportive environment, this course is for you. You’ll be guided by EA-qualified Run Leaders and fellow Pumas (many of whom are proud Couch to 5K graduates themselves!).
What’s included:
• 11-week programme (Mondays & Wednesdays)
• Support from qualified coaches and club members
• Graduation 5K Parkrun in March
• Exclusive T-shirt and medal
• Celebration event to finish!

If you decide to join Pumas after you will receive £5 off 2026/27 membership 
We’ve seen over 100 runners graduate through our Couch to 5K. This could be your first step toward something amazing.
