The Couch to 5k challenge is to prepare you for the Boo Dash in October!

Why sign up?  Accountability!!! Have someone else who is trying to achieve the same goals as you. We work together to prepare you for either your first 5k or improve your 5k time.  Once finished you will receive a free T-shirt!

Once you have registered for the Couch to 5k Challenge, you will receive an email with a link to a Google sheet. The Google sheet will be where we will keep a record once you have finished the daily challenge or suggested routine on the template.

There will be pop-up routines on the Facebook Group ex-page daily. If you haven’t followed our page, make sure you do so you don’t miss out on the daily pop-up challenges!

Track your progress

Download a running/walking app to track your progress each day (Example: Strava, Mapmyrun, Garmin connect, Runkeeper…)

Once you have completed the daily challenge or routine on the template (or you can do both), you will get a sticker for that day.

The goal is to have 56 stickers. There will be a prize for the top sticker holders. We will also hold a drawing for a grand prize!
