Run NI's Couch to 5K (C25K) is an 8-week program for adults of all abilities who wish to increase their physical activity and start running under the direction of a UK Athletics qualified coach with the aim of being able to run a continuous 5K (3.1miles) at the end of the 8-week program. 

The Run NI C25K Belfast program will take place on Wednesday evenings from 7-8pm at the Dub Playing Fields, Upper Malone Rd beginning Wednesday July 20th and will be led by Lenny James from the Wednesday Night Runners Group.

The weekly sessions will include a variety of walking/jogging/running activities encouraging progression each week to build up to a 5K graduation event in early September. This event can be the Run NI Birthday 5k at the Mary Peters Track in Belfast on Sept 11th (entry to this is included in the fee for the C25K program) or a local parkrun on Sept 10th. All participants will receive a Run NI technical T-shirt and a finisher's medal.
