The Terrapins Launch “Couch to 5K” Program for New Runners

Oct 6, 2025

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.
