This fall, the Sutton Terrapins are inviting locals to lace up and take their first steps toward fitness with a brand-new Couch to 5K program — a fun, inclusive, and energizing way to get moving.

Designed especially for complete beginners, this eight-week journey will gently guide participants from walking to running a full 5 kilometres, with a focus on community, consistency, and confidence. Whether you’ve never run before or just need a little push to get back out there, this is your chance to start strong — and finish smiling.

The program starts Monday, October 13, with sessions every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8:00 a.m., meeting at the Coop Gym in Sutton. Each workout includes:

• A friendly warm-up
• A guided run-walk routine led by Terrapin members
• A cool-down walk and plenty of encouragement

To celebrate their progress, participants will have the option to sign up together for a 5K race in Eastman on December 13th — a festive and motivating way to cross the finish line as a team.

No experience required — just a pair of running shoes and the courage to begin.
