Couch to 5k

Our free Couch to 5K programme is the perfect way to kickstart your running journey, whether you're a total newbie, a lapsed runner or simply looking to get fit for summer.  You'll build up your fitness with a friendly group cheering you on and, by the end of the programme, you'll not only conquer the 5k distance but discover your inner runner too.  

The programme starts Thursday 9th April  and will run every Monday and Thursday at 18:30 for 9 weeks from our base at Almondbury Cricket Club ( See our Contact us page for full directions ) and will culminate with a Saturday Parkrun around Huddersfield Greenhead Park at the end of the course. 

Participants must be aged 18 or over.
