IT’S the time of the year when the evenings are getting shorter and getting out and about after work is becoming less inviting.

However, the Born to Run Tralee Marathon Club has the solution and is inviting everyone over the age of 18 to sign up for their Couch to 5k programme.

The programme has been running for a number of years and it’s a great way for inexperienced runners to get active and healthy while meeting new people in a group setting.

Continued below…

Starting on Monday, September 9th at 6.30pm from the Brandon carpark, this is a nine-week programme on Monday and Wednesday evenings, starting with a gradual walk/run strategy gradually building over the course of the programme.

Participants will finally gain enough fitness to run a  specially organised 5k at the end of the programme where everyone will receive a finishers medal.

The mentors are graduates of the successful programme and will be there to help and encourage participants on their way to 5k. Registration is €10 and is open now. Click here to register.
