Couch to 5K

Are you interested in completing a 5k? Well, you’re in luck! 

The Wake County Health Promotion Chronic Disease Prevention Section is once again partnering with City of Raleigh’s Parks Recreation and Cultural Resources to offer a “Couch to 5K” running clinic. Sessions are open to all Wake County families (12 years and older), with special attention given to those who live in the region where the parks are located to emphasize neighborhood-based programming opportunities. 

Training sessions will take place every Wednesday evening at the Buffalo Road Athletic Park Track or greenway. Each participant will receive a weekly training calendar (homework) to prepare them for the next week’s session. On the last day of the program, participations will run a timed 5k! 

Let’s go! Walking to running is possible… you are stronger than you think! All children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
