Couch to 5k Training Program

Become a part of the running community and join Sandown Rec with the "Couch to 5k" training program. This program is designed to help anyone wanting to get in shape to run/walk a 5k. Start with us on Sunday April 6th at 9am and over the course of 9 weeks you will gradually build up cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, and the confidence to complete the 5k road race that takes place during the 32nd annual Sandown 5 mile (13 hills) / 5k (less hills) road race on Saturday June 7th.
New runners looking for support and camaraderie...veteran runners...walkers...anyone can join and benefit from this program.
The group will come together 2x a week (Sunday mornings at 9am /Tuesday evenings at 6pm) at the Ed Garvey Recreation center for outdoor training sessions lasting approximately 30mins.
Participation in this program does NOT include registration into the race. Race entry registration is a separate fee and details on how to register for the event will be posted at a later date.
Cost: Free!!

Note:

Please make sure you dress accordingly. Make sure you have proper running shoes and plenty of water. The Ed Garvey Building is located at 25 Pheasant Run Drive in Sandown NH.
