FAQs

First-timer questions answered.

I'm a complete beginner — is this really for me?

Yes, completely. Our beginner runs (look for 'Couch to 5K' and 'Beginner run' tags) are walk-jog sessions with two coaches per group. We've started thousands of people running. You'll be fine.

Do I need to bring anything?

Trainers, water and weather-appropriate clothes. That's it. We'll have first aid, gels and a few demo pairs of shoes if you want to try something on the run.

How does sign-up work?

Click 'Sign up' on any event and we'll redirect you to Eventbrite to confirm your spot. Most events are free - paid ones go through Eventbrite checkout.

What if I can't make it?

Free events: just don't turn up — but please cancel via the email link so someone on the waitlist can take your spot. Paid events: 7 days' notice for a full refund.

Do I have to give marketing consent?

No. You can sign up to a single event without ticking the marketing box. If you do tick it, we'll send you event alerts for your area and the occasional brand drop.
