Contact us now to get involved! Places are limited!

We run couch to 5k courses annually starting in January, running for 9 weeks, meeting at The Market House, Ledbury (3 High St, Ledbury, HR8 1DS) every Sunday at 9:20am for a 9:30am start. Use our Contact form if you would like to sign up or ask for further information.

The cost for the course is £25 which will include your own ‘graduation t shirt’ and a celebration meal at the Rugby Club. Also, running tips & weekly posts. We encourage you to run once or twice in between our own sessions. As a club we run every Tuesday evening from Ledbury Rugby Club at 6:45, and also have various sessions on Thursday evenings, so once you’re into your stride it would be great if you could come and join us.

On the Saturday following the last session we meet at a local parkrun to see you completing your 5km!

Couch to 5k Graduation Newent Park Run November 23rd 2019

Testimonials…

“I’m really glad I did Couch to 5k last year. It’s suitable for everyone, so it doesn’t matter if you can’t run very far to start with. There are different groups you can join and everyone involved is really supportive and friendly.” Sharn, January 2022

“I was really apprehensive about joining as I was worried about my ability.  Sally and the team were amazing, they gave us helpful tips and lots of confidence.  You meet some great people, I have now joined Ledbury & District Harriers as a runner!” Kate, November 2019

“I joined Couch to 5K last October at the age of 50, having done no exercise whatsoever since my school days.  In the first session, I struggled to run for 60 seconds at a time.  Thanks to the unending support of Sally and Jayne, by the end of the course, I was able to run the Newent Park run in less than 45 minutes without walking.  It really works and is the best thing I have ever done for myself.”  Louise, January 2018

“Thank you Ledbury Harriers you have been the most supportive friendly group of people. Without you I never thought I would be able to run. Thank you again”  Sarah, November 2018
