About the event

Join the Couch Potato Run Club's beginner-friendly program and kickstart your running journey with just 30 seconds of running on January 18, 2027. This eight-week initiative at Midway Mews Shopping Centre in Midrand is designed to ease you into fitness without judgment or pressure. Each session includes walk breaks tailored for beginners who want to feel less stuck and a bit fitter but are hesitant about the initial discomfort of running. The program eliminates common obstacles by gradually reducing walking intervals rather than increasing running times abruptly, ensuring that every participant feels supported throughout their progression towards completing a 5K race.
The supportive atmosphere encourages you to leave your comfort zone without fear of being seen as inexperienced or slow. Whether you're bringing along a furry friend for company, the club welcomes dog-lovers and ensures everyone can enjoy the journey together. For more information on how to sign up and participate in this transformative experience, visit Couch Potato Run Club's website.

The richest city in Africa by GDP and private wealth, Johannesburg functions as the economic capital of South Africa and is home to the continent's largest stock exchange, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
