Notes from the run leader

Join Bedfordshire Trail Runners for our 12‑week Trail 5K Starter Programme, designed especially for complete beginners.

We’ll support you every step of the way, guiding you from walking to confidently running your first 5K on Bedfordshire’s beautiful trails, even if you’ve never run before.

This programme follows a gentler, slower progression than standard Couch to 5K plans, helping you avoid injury, prevent burnout, and build lasting fitness at a comfortable pace.

It’s ideal for beginners who want to enjoy running without pressure.

⏰ Group run: Every Tuesday at 6:00 pm
📍 Location: Base of Dunstable Downs, Dunstable (next to Zeera Indian)
