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 Shorton

Devon, England

Shorton sits quietly in Devon where the pace is gentle enough to catch your breath. There are no big venues listed right now, but that just means you won't miss a gig or stumble across a crowd you didn't want. The village itself acts as the stage for whatever local groups decide to gather on a Saturday afternoon. It's a place where neighbours know each other and the tea is always hot enough to warm your socks. You might find a neighbour hosting a garden party or a small group meeting in someone's kitchen. Near Here keeps an eye on the local scene so you're never left wondering who is coming round for a cuppa.
