It seems like it is harder and harder to get up off the couch these days and with obesity now being found as the root to many health problems, a local Marlborough church is offering up a walking/running program for Marlborough residents that would like to give thier health and waistline a little attention. Couch to 5K, a nationally recognized program founded by coolrunning.com, has helped thousands of new runners get up and running 3 miles in just two months.
The program, being sponsored and organized by Connecting Point Church in Marlborough, MA was off to a great start this week with a large turnout of around 75 people! With this many participants it would be easy to find someone on your level to walk or run with. This program is open to all that are interested in participating, they are a very inclusive group ready to accommodate all levels of ability. Experienced runners are also welcome to help train.
This program will run from September 10th thru Thanksgiving, concluding with an actual 5K run. Organizers will be at Ghiloni Park (Concord Road) Monday – Thursday at 6PM and they will be holding a Church Run on Sundays at 8AM! Participants can join at any time and are encouraged to commit to at least 3 days a week as recommended by Couch to 5K.
See you there!
