Boksburg | 18:00 pm | January

Embark on your running journey with Couch Potato Run Club’s beginner-friendly program designed for those who have never run before but are eager to cross that 5K finish line. The eight-week course, kicking off on January 18, 2027, offers a supportive environment where you can build stamina at your own pace without the fear of being judged or left behind.
Each session begins with just 30 seconds of running followed by walk breaks to help ease into the routine gradually. The program is structured around short intervals that progressively reduce walking time as you become more comfortable and confident on your feet, ensuring no sudden jumps in difficulty that often cause beginners to quit. Sessions take place at Bokkie Park in Boksburg every Monday and Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 6:45 PM.
The atmosphere is welcoming for all fitness levels, with a focus on community support rather than competition. Whether you're aiming to improve your health or simply find an excuse to get outside, this program provides the perfect blend of encouragement and practical guidance to help you achieve your goals without feeling overwhelmed. Bring your furry friend along as dogs are welcome too.
