Couch to 5k

Always fancied trying running? Returning to exercise after a break?

Running is a fantastic way to get fit and get outdoors to make the most of our beautiful Sheffield countryside & parks. Even better it’s probably the cheapest exercise out there – All you need is a pair of trainers which you can lace up any time you have a spare half an hour.

Join our Couch to 5K group

Free apps are great, but we can go one better and offer you the chance to be part of a special St Luke’s Couch to 5K group with dedicated support from a Run Leader. As part of the group you’ll benefit from camaraderie, shared experience, shared support, shared goals and shared commitment, all of which are known to increase your likelihood of success.

• The group will complete a 5K ParkRun on 7th July. We’ll all run it together, as a group, and finish together
• There is a £5 registration fee and we ask that you set a £50 sponsorship target, and commit to the full 12 week programme
