Couch to 5k – 2025 – They did it !!!

 

 

On Monday 6th January 2025, Thanet Road Runners hosted their yearly Couch to 5k programme.

This year in freezing conditions over 50 brave souls took on this challenge.

The aim is to get the entrants, who have little, some or indeed no running experience from nothing to running a 5k (3.1 miles) in 9 weeks. The 5k being in the form of the lovely Park Run at Pegwell Bay on Saturday 8th March.

Assisted by run leaders, club runners and previous couch to 5k graduates the journey began.

Described as being the best and most chatty group we’d ever had. Friendships were formed and with energy, enthusiasm and mutual encouragement, THIRTY THREE runners made it (80% ladies)!!

 

A massive well done to you all and we hope that you continue to enjoy your running journey.

 

A massive thank you also to all the club members who gave up their own time to make this happen and our sponsors Thanet Earth who provided the medals and lovely cake.

 

Here are some photos of both Pegwell Park Run and medals awarded for those who could not make Pegwell.
