SPRING INTO RUNNING 2025
A Queer Couch to 5k
Forget New Year’s resolutions. Don’t start something new when it’s cold, dark, and miserable. Start when the days get longer, when the sun is shining, when getting outside feels good.
Spring Into Running is a 12-week program designed to take you from “I can jog for 60 seconds” to running for 30 minutes straight—without burning out, getting injured, or feeling like you don’t belong.
This is a space made for LGBTQIA+ people, by LGBTQIA+ people. Whether you’ve never run before or you’ve tried and struggled, we’ll get you there together.
📅 Dates: April 14th – June 21st
🏳️🌈 For LGBTQIA+ people only
💰 Early Bird: £65 (until March)
💰 Full Price: £75 (from April)
📍 No special equipment needed—just you.
💡 No one turned away for lack of funds. If cost is an issue, just ask. No means testing, no proof required.
