Couch to 5K

Couch to 5K is a running

program designed for beginner

runners to prepare themselves

for their first 5K. It can also be a

way for experienced runners

who may be out of conditioning

and want to get back to running

5k’s. With the help of our very

own Gail Lakatos, and local

runner and dietician, Jennifer

Clark, we will have you laced up

at the starting line of a 5K in

just eight weeks. This is a

progressive program that will

start out gradually walking and running and week by week you will walk less and run more. At the

end of these 8 weeks participants can take part in the Crop Run hosted on June 4th.
