Mickleover Running Club

FREE Couch to 5K

Mickleover Running Club’s FREE Couch to 5K is perfect for complete beginners or anyone returning to running after injury, time off, or life changes. Our next 9-week course starts Tuesday 6th October 2026, come run, laugh, and reach your 5K goal with a supportive group by your side.

WHY MRC C25K

Mickleover Running Club is proud to be one of the most welcoming, supportive running communities in the area. We run a FREE Couch to 5K programme built for absolute beginners and anyone returning to running after time away, whether that’s due to injury, life changes, or simply wanting a fresh start.

Our next nine‑week course begins Tuesday 6th October 2026 and runs through to Tuesday 1st December 2026. We meet every Tuesday at 6:00pm outside The Masons Arms, Mickleover, gently increasing the running distance each week until you confidently reach your 5K goal.

One of the standout parts of this course is the community spirit. Everyone is on the same journey, and the encouragement from fellow runners is genuinely uplifting. Whether you’re brand new to running, rebuilding after injury, or finding your rhythm again after having a baby, you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

To keep motivation high between sessions, you’ll be added to a course WhatsApp group, a friendly space to share progress, ask questions, connect with others, and stay supported throughout the programme.

We’ll finish the course with a celebratory parkrun on Saturday 5th December, a fun, friendly milestone where you complete your first official parkrun together as a group.
