Let us help you achieve the goal of running 5K in seven weeks with our friendly & sociable weekly group.
We break the course down into seven week sessions. The first session we look at technique and then each week we build on the goal of running 5K. We take it gently and encourage you to find your own pace. Our female only coaches will be on hand each week to support you and the last week of the course will see you achieve your goal of running run 5k in & around Greenwich Park. We accept children over the age of 15 on our running courses.

Running was never my thing. I love exercising outdoors with a kettle bell, a slam ball and lengths at the lido. However, I decided to scratch that itch a few years ago when a neighbour told me he had felt the same until he had discovered the Greenwich Runners 0-5K course. On day one, Ellie and her team immediately put everyone at their ease and I was reassured to see such a mix of abilities and ages, shapes and sizes but all with the same goal – to see if they COULD run. Each week was fun. I actually wanted to run. On the penultimate week, I ran with someone at a similar pace to me and we encouraged each other all the way. The feeling of running 5K without stopping that day was so incredible and I think of it often. Its not far, by many runners standards, but for me, it was a Himalayan peak. It meant that I COULD now run 5K and that opened up a whole world of possibilities
