Our New Couch to 5K Graduates

Sunday 2 November 2025 marked a special milestone for our latest Couch to 5K group as they completed their 30-minute graduation run in Longford Park. Over the past eight weeks, this group has shown incredible commitment and determination, progressing from running for just one minute in week one to completing a continuous 30-minute run.

Certificates were presented at the end of the run, providing a fantastic way to recognise all their hard work and progress. Some of our regular runners also came along to offer support, encouragement and plenty of cheers from start to finish. The group will now be taking part in their celebration run at Bedworth parkrun, a wonderful opportunity to bring everything together and complete for some of them, their first 5K as a group. It has been inspiring to see everyone’s confidence and fitness grow week by week, with a real sense of teamwork throughout.

A huge well done to every one of our new runners, and thank you to our group helpers who made the course possible. Your support and positivity make all the difference.

We are now taking expressions of interest for our next Couch to 5K course, planned to start in early spring. If you’d like to take your first steps into running in a friendly, supportive environment, we’d love to have you join us. Please take a look at our Couch to 5K page for more details.
