How it works

Your 0–5K journey

The programme is designed to gradually build your running fitness over 10 weeks.

We'll start with a mixture of walking and running, gradually increasing the amount you run as the weeks progress.

There's no expectation that you can already run 5K — that's what we're here to help you achieve!

Spaces are limited

You must complete our sign-up form to join the next Beginners Run Group.

Once you've signed up, we'll contact you closer to the start date to confirm your attendance and provide any further information.

What's next after 0–5K?

Completing the 0–5K programme doesn't have to be the end of your running journey.

If you've enjoyed running with us and would like to continue, you can join Dawlish Coasters — a friendly running club with mixed abilities and, most importantly, a wonderful group of people.

Whether you want to keep improving your fitness, take part in your first race or simply enjoy running with others, you'll be very welcome.
