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 Craigavon program will take place on Wednesday evenings from 6.30-7.30pm meeting at the lakeside door of South Lakes Leisure Centre in Craigavon beginning Wednesday July 20th and will be led by the experienced Athletics Coach Dr Ciaran McAleenan.

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 the Citypark parkrun on Sept 10th. All participants will receive a Run NI technical T-shirt and a finisher's medal.
