Couch to 5k

Ready to take your first steps into running? Our Couch to 5K group is a supportive, weekly meet-up designed to help complete beginners gradually build confidence, stamina and fitness — all at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you’ve never run before or you’re returning after a break, this friendly group makes it easier to stay motivated. Together we’ll follow a simple, structured programme that mixes walking and running, helping you progress week by week without pressure. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to meet new people, boost your mood, reduce stress and anxiety, and enjoy the benefits of being out in nature. Every session is relaxed, encouraging and open to absolutely everyone. Just bring comfortable trainers, a bottle of water, and a willingness to give it a go. You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve in a few weeks — and we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.

More about Paignton

Devon, England

Paignton sits right on the edge of Devon where the sea breeze keeps the dust off your boots and the local parks are always packed with picnickers. You can usually find a comedy show in the town centre or a family fairground ride that makes even the grumpiest aunties laugh. There is often a market stall selling fresh produce while the cinema screens a film that everyone agrees is better than last week's offering. Near Here knows exactly where the action is so you don't have to waste time scrolling through endless lists of options.
