Get Ready for Town Road Races with our Couch to 5K Program

Here is your chance to get out and get running, just in time to get ready for all the upcoming 5K's around town!

Here is your chance to get out and get running, just in time to get ready for all the upcoming 5K's around town! Check out Andover REC's new Couch to 5K class beginning March 20.

Too many people are turned off to running simply by starting out too fast. This program will allow you to ease into a running program gradually. In fact, this beginners’ program is less of a running regimen and more of a walking and jogging program. Class will take place twice a week, with a third day routine sent home for you to do on your own. At the last class, we will hold our own mock 5K! T-shirts will be provided. The idea is to transform you into the runner you’ve always imagined, and get you running 3.1 miles on a regular basis in no time!

#164 Mon & Wed, begins March 20
6:00-6:30 pm
9 weeks, $35, limit 20
Lower Shawsheen Track
Supervisor: Jessica Downing
