Kent Sport runs a variety of running sessions as part of our ALL Active programme. Why not dust off those old trainers and get back to running. Whether you’re just starting out or a confident runner, we have adapted our sessions to suit everyone.
Beginners’ Running (Couch To 5K)
Our 10-week Couch to 5k program is perfect for those just starting out and will get you comfortably running each week, leading up to a 30 minutes run (approx. 5km) in just 10 weeks. This relaxed and sociable session requires no experience, just a pair of trainers and a sense of humour. Our experienced staff will support you every step of the way and before you know it, you’ll be confident to hit the roads on your own.

“The C25K programme helped me get back into running after stopping running due to an injury 6 years ago. C25K starts off really gently and can turn any couch potato into a park runner. This is a truly fantastic and motivational programme which is great for runners and non-runners of all levels – it’s also a lot of fun and a great way to socialise! Enormous thanks to Kirsty and Karen for helping me get back on the road again and for helping me to avoid injury”
Caitlin Melidonis, C25K graduate
