There is still time to register for the next Couch to 5K with Active Sefton.

Designed to take beginners with little or no experience to be able to compete or simply run in a 5k run, the next course begins Monday 16th September, 6pm-7pm at Litherland Sports Park.

Couch to 5K takes place every Monday and Wednesday and lasts 10 weeks and is great value at just £12.50 for the whole course.

Running has lots of health benefits, from increasing joint strength, to improving heart and lung health. It can also boost your mood, and the sessions provide a great network of like-minded individuals.

Cllr Mhairi Doyle, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, said:

“The Couch to 5k is a positive change that will help you to get into shape for very little cost.”

“Not only does it help you to be fit and healthy, the programme is also a great way to meet new people and make links in your community. For everyone who takes part the message is simple, have fun and the best of luck in reaching your goals.”
