Fourways | 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 first 5K finish line. Starting January 18, 2027, this eight-week initiative offers a supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace without fear of judgment or being the slowest in the group. Each session begins with just 30 seconds of running, gradually building up to manageable intervals that keep walk breaks integrated throughout.
Meetings take place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:00 PM to 6:45 PM at Kingfisher Park in Fourways, providing a welcoming atmosphere for runners looking to improve their fitness levels. The program is structured to avoid overwhelming beginners with unrealistic expectations or sudden increases in running duration that often lead to burnout.
Participants can enjoy the scenic surroundings of Kingfisher Park while gradually increasing their stamina and confidence on the course. Whether you're motivated by personal health goals, a desire for regular physical activity, or simply wanting an excuse to get outdoors, this program offers a non-judgmental space where everyone progresses at their own comfortable pace.
