Why Run?
Running has many well recognised health benefits, both physical and emotional.
Pembrokeshire Harriers Couch to 5k course, also known as C25K, is based on a tried and tested 9 week plan leading to the completion of your first 5k run.
Pembrokeshire Harriers' UK Athletics qualified run leaders will provide risk assessed routes, tips, advice, motivation and support for you to complete the course.
By far the best reasons for completing the C25K with Pembrokeshire Harriers are the many new friends you will make and the support you will give each other.
What do I need to do?
Before signing up, please ensure that you are able to walk briskly for 30 minutes. If you have any medical conditions, have never exercised or not exercised for a considerable time, please consult a medical professional before registering.
You will need to commit to 3 sessions a week to give you the best chance of successfully completing the course, with at least one session per week being with our leaders.
If you have any additional needs, please email us and someone will contact you to discuss your needs.
