COUCH TO 5K RETURNS IN SEPTEMBER!
For almost ten years MileShyClub has been helping people discover the joy of running. We’re an award winning running club that has supported thousands of beginners to become more active through our friendly and inclusive running groups. With clubs across Trafford, Salford, Stockport and Manchester, there's bound to be a session near you.
Whether you've never run before, or if you’re returning to running after some time away, you’ll be supported every step of the way by our knowledgeable coaches and an encouraging community of fellow runners. All of our coaches are England Athletics qualified run leaders, fully insured and trained in first aid so you can feel confident you're in safe, knowledgeable hands.
Our structured Couch To 5K programme is designed to help you succeed and if you attend every weekly session and complete all of the recommended homework runs, you can expect to achieve your first 5K in just nine weeks. Every runner who completes the programme is invited to take part in one of our graduation parkruns where we celebrate your incredible achievement alongside your fellow graduates and the rest of the MileShy community. You’ll also receive your very first running medal - a well deserved reminder of everything you've accomplished.
Sessions cost just £2 each on a pay as you go basis, you can pay by contactless or bring cash on the day. As MileShyClub is a registered charity, every penny raised is reinvested into community projects that help even more people become active.
