Thinking about running in the new year but not sure where to start? 👟

Our Couch to 5K class is designed for beginning runners, first-time 5Kers (or even half marathoners) and anyone who wants the motivation of a supportive weekly group.

You’ll:
✔ Build endurance at a realistic pace
✔ Learn proper running techniques and nutrition tips
✔ Train alongside others in a welcoming, encouraging environment

The program prepares participants for Eugene Marathon events on April 24–26, but the training works for any spring race goal — or no race at all.
