If you are looking to get fitter, feel better and meet new people, why not join a free Couch to 5k programme? Perfect for beginners or those wanting to return to running, Seaford Striders Running Club is pleased to announce its 2025 Couch to 5k group.
Starting on Tuesday 29th April, you will join others each week to complete your run in a friendly environment, ensuring you are supported every step of the way. Seaford Striders will guide you through the programme each week as you gradually build up your running ability over a few weeks. Taking part in C25K will take you from not running at all to being able to run 5 kilometres in just nine weeks. The group aims to celebrate its successful completion at Seaford Beach parkrun on Saturday 28th June.
This is for you if you want to learn how to run having never previously run, or if you have found it difficult to keep up the momentum during recent years and need a refresher, or if you used to run some time ago and want to re-find your running mojo. It is suitable for any adult who is able to walk non-stop for at least 20 minutes and wants to be able to transition to running.
The group will meet at the Richmond Road Car Park (by the Salts Recreation Ground) at 7pm.

FAQs
Will I need any special equipment?
Supportive training shoes and comfortable clothing to run in. We recommend that you download the NHS C25K App so that you can follow the training plan. Ideally you will do two other training runs using the App between each Strider-led group.
What will Seaford Striders provide?
Lots of encouragement from our members, many of whom started out by doing C25K themselves. There will be separate groups for all abilities led by experienced runners. They will know exactly how you are feeling – the chances are they will have felt the same when they started.
I’m scared I won’t be able to keep up!
Don’t worry we won’t leave anyone behind. There will always be one of our members at the tail of each group and our group is suitable for all abilities.
What does it cost?
It is free to take part! Obviously we would love you to join Seaford Striders but it is not a condition of taking part. You can find out more about our annual memberships at www.seafordstriders.org.uk/join-us
