Come the 12th January 2026 Thanet Roadrunners will begin their annual couch to 5km programme. This is a 9 week course that will build you to 5km. You will celebrate your achievement at your graduation 5km at Pegwell Parkrun, with all your fellow runners.
Our aim is to get you to jog/run 5km without stopping not to make you an Olympian just yet. We recognise too that people will start with different levels of fitness. You may have been a runner previously or not done anything for quite a few years.
With our experienced run leaders we are able to look after everyone. We do this each year as we want to share our passion for running and it really rewarding to share people’s journey to fitness. As one of our previous C25K graduates Jackie said, before I started I couldn’t run from the car to Tesco’s in the rain! She now has run half marathons and this year completed the London Marathon. Other graduates have also completed 10kms and half marathons including the London Landmarks.
Course will start Monday 12th Jan at 6.30pm outside The Charles Dickens Pub, Broadstairs. We will then meet there every Monday and Wednesday for 9 weeks. If you’ve ever thought you’d like to start running why not come and join like minded people and start your running journey. All you need is a pair of trainers and determination.
