We’re delighted to confirm that our popular Couch to 5K course returns in January 2024 – and you can sign up now.

Our 11-week course will take you from beginner to a first-ever 5K, with a graduation run pencilled in for mid-March. You’ll run with us twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, with a peer-supported third run during the week, too.

But that’s not all. Our qualified coaches and leaders will be with you every step of the way, answering any questions you may have at ANY point throughout the course.

Upon graduating at your Parkrun, you’ll receive a finisher’s medal, a t-shirt and a discount code to join Northowram Pumas as a full member if you want to continue your journey with us! So many of our previous C25K graduates have done exactly that and gone on to achieve amazing things: from marathons to ultra-marathons and so much more!

Two-thirds of this year’s graduates went on to become full members of the Pumas. Our course isn’t just 11 weeks: it’s the first step to a lifetime of support. And we’d love you to be part of it.

So, how do you join? Well, it’s easy. Head to this link:

Simply book a place, sign up and fill in the required form and – that’s it! You’re all booked on for January! Someone from the club will be in touch during December to answer any questions you may have and provide more information about the start date, what you can expect: everything to make your journey with us as smooth, seamless and enjoyable as possible.

We hope to see you soon.

Northowram Pumas are an all-abilities, fun and friendly running club based in Northowram, just outside of Halifax.

We operate club nights on Mondays and Wednesdays which cater for runners of all speeds, from serious and competitive runners all the way down to beginners or those looking to return to running. Whatever your speed, and whatever your goal, we will be able to cater for you!

Our club nights start at 6:30pm from Northowram Cricket Club on Westercroft Lane. We offer two-tier membership starting at just £25, and any potential new member is entitled to a free four-night trial period to see if they think the Pumas is for them! We guarantee you won’t be disappointed, though!

Our club boasts some incredible achievements despite being only a handful of years old. We have run several successful Couch to 5K programmes in our short history, and some of those members have gone on to tackle distances including the marathon. We will support you on every step of your running journey, no matter what your goal!

But our club does not simply start and end with running. We are proud to label ourselves as much more than an ordinary running club. Our Friday social runs, which take place every Friday, always culminate with a drink in the village afterwards, and we also operate trail running groups through the week, coaching sessions on a local track and so much more.

But most importantly, we will offer any new member the chance to create memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. If you want to embrace something new, take your running to the next level or simply meet new people, then Northowram Pumas is the club for you.
