The To 5k and Beyond programme returns on the Thursday 10th January 2019! Our ever-popular course (run eight times previously) is designed for absolute beginners and will introduce you to running in an easy and approachable way.

This is a FREE programme. You are not required to pay for this or to join Kings Heath Running Club.

We meet at Colmore School in Kings Heath for a warm up and briefing.

To sign up please complete this form and tick the relevant box 5k and Beyond Joiner:

Week one is a mix of run and walking and this run:walk pattern changes each week as we progress towards increasing the amount of time spent running.

The programme lasts 14 weeks and is lead by a CiRF (Coach in Running Fitness) trained coach and supported by volunteers within in the club. You are not required to attend every single week but will find it beneficial to get the support of fellow beginners attending each week 🙂

At the end of the programme we encourage all participants of To 5K and Beyond to run at Cannon Hill parkrun on the 23rd March 2019 along with club members to celebrate completing the programme: more details on this will be provided during the programme.

We run every Thursday and runners are encouraged to make use of Tuesday evening and Saturday morning beginners sessions if they can to add an additional run – these are not structured programmes but are supported by club volunteers.

The club is delighted to announce the next date for our To 5K and Beyond programme. Our next programme starts on the Thursday 13th September 2018.

The course is specifically designed for absolute beginners—no previous experience is necessary—if you can put one foot in front of the other then your welcome to join us! This programme has been run seven times previously and has seen many people transition to becoming regular runners. 🙂 There is no cost to join in. It’s absolutely free and all are welcome! We will meet every Thursday at 6:50 p.m. at Colmore School.

If you wish to participant we require you to fill in a simple registration form.

If you have any questions then you can either send us a message us below or via the event page on Facebook or message the club privately via our Facebook page.
