Couch to 5K Run /Walk Training Program – Free!
The Couch to 5K program is for those who have always wanted to run, but never knew where to start. It is an 8 week program in which participants will build up from running/walking intervals to completing a 5K (or 3.1 miles). Columbus Road Runners offers this training program free of charge for everyone.
The only cost associated will be the entry into the goal race, which is not mandatory to participate, but is strongly encouraged. Having a goal race encourages that the participant will see it through to the end.
