Couch to 5K in 2027
A running plan for beginners

Taking up running can seem like a scary prospect, especially if you feel out of shape or unfit. Brixham Harriers are running a nine week programme for beginners using the NHS Couch to 5K App and starting Tuesday 12th January 2027. The group will meet at 18.00 on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Thinking Fitness Gym, and will walk/run for around 45 minutes in this area. You will need to complete one other session at the weekend, but you will have the App to guide you through this. The sessions are for 10 weeks. The first 3 sessions are free, after that the course will cost £20 which includes membership of the Brixham Harriers Running club until the end of March 2028.
How do I join in?
Book your place by completing the application form which can be accessed via the button below. Then download the NHS Couch to 5k App to your phone (don’t worry if you can’t do this part - you can still join the group without the App).
As we will be running after dark, it is very important to be seen, so you must wear a reflective tabard, straps or lights.
Please stay safe, and do not run if you are unwell or live with someone who is unwell.
