Our Couch to 5K Programme

Want to take up running but not sure where to begin? Fed up with not having enough energy? Need that boost to get out of your door and take those first steps of the New Year? Let us help – our Couch to 5K plan could be for you!

We are delighted to announce that we’re running a brand new Couch to 5K programme in January 2023 – which is open to apply for now!

For just £20, you’ll be enrolled onto our 12-week course, which begins on January 4 2023. You’ll be guided every step of the way by our team of qualified run leaders and support groups, and will graduate at a local Parkrun on Saturday 18 March, running your first-ever 5K, cheered on by dozens of our members!

The cost of the course includes two organised group runs every week, a limited-edition Northowram Pumas Couch to 5K t-shirt and medal – as well as a free trial to join our club upon graduation. So many graduates of our C25K courses in the past have gone on to do incredible things – including running ultra-marathons. Who knows, you could be the next one doing something truly incredible.

Trust us, it’ll be the best thing you ever do. But be quick – as places are first-come, first-served. To get more information, email info@northowrampumas.co.uk!

If you’ve got any questions feel free to drop us an email.

Joining our family at Northowram Pumas is simple. We welcome members of all abilities, from beginner to returning runner to competitive race-goer!

Anyone who joins is entitled to membership to the club until April 1 2024. Furthermore, we believe our prices are not only affordable, but supportive in these testing financial times.

Our prices for 2023-24 are:

£25: This is our basic membership which gives you full membership of Northowram Pumas.

OR

£35: A full membership to Northowram Pumas as well as becoming a registered athlete with England Athletics.

EA (England Athletics) membership allows you to compete in certain races the Pumas will enter teams in each year, as well as enabling you to gain a discount to every race you enter throughout the course of the year.

Joining is easy. Head to our online membership platform by clicking THIS LINK, create an account, choose your membership level and sign up! Then you’re free to attend any of our club nights on Mondays and Wednesday from 6:30pm. If it’s your first night, get there a little early, ask to be introduced to a run leader and we’ll do the rest! We’ll make sure you feel right at home.

We offer a free four-night trial before committing to any membership too! Again, you can sign up for that on the link above.

If you have any more questions, email info@northowrampumas.co.uk and we’ll respond as quickly as we can!
