Do you want to get into running this summer?

Do you want to get fitter? Do you want to relieve stress? Do you want to enjoy yourself? Do you want to make new friends? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, you should join the Kew Couch to 5K+ programme!

With the help of a grant from the Active Richmond Fund, former Council Leader and inveterate parkrunner, Serge Lourie, is starting a Kew Couch to 5K+ programme from 6.30 to 7.30pm every Wednesday from 31 May 2023. It is under the auspices of the Avenue Club in Kew.

People will meet at LiveWell in Kew by the Richmond Medical Centre, Quadrant House, Levett Square, Kew, TW9 4FF.

The programme will follow the NHS couch to 5K programme and is intended to help people achieve their goals of getting fitter, relieving stress, enjoying themselves and making new friends.

Because of the support from Richmond Council, there is no charge.

To find out more or to register, please contact Serge on couch25k.kew@yahoo.com or call 020 8876 3545.

If you're unable to travel to Kew but want to try out the Couch to 5K+ programme, you can download the free NHS app to follow the programme at your own leisure.

If running isn't for you, check out our Richmond Moves campaign to find other ways that you can start moving more.
