Virtual 5k -10k Running Programme
Have you recently completed a Couch to 5k programme, or can you comfortably run a 5km and would like to challenge yourself to run further, then the virtual 5km – 10km programme is perfect for you.
The virtual 5km – 10km programme is an 8 week programme to support runners to increase their running distance from 5km to 10k. It provides participants with the freedom and flexibility to build up to 10k in your own time while working around your schedule.
A qualified instructor will virtually guide you through the eight week programme to be completed 3 times per week and will be on hand to share their skills, knowledge and expertise. Each week participants will receive an email with their training programme for the upcoming week meaning you can run at a time and place convenient to you.
Participants will be encouraged to take part in the Craigavon Lakes 10k Event as their graduation 10k event on Wednesday 25th June 2025. Separate registration and entry fees apply.
