Want to try running in 2026?
Starting on Thursday 8 January at 7pm we’re running a 9-week program to take you from Couch to 5k – with a celebratory graduation run at Heslington parkrun on 7 March 2026.
Spaces are limited – sign up here for only £15
Each week we will host a Couch to 5km run group with regular run leaders as part of our Thursday social runs. We are based at York RI Rugby club where there is good parking, a safe space to leave your warm clothes for after and the bar is open for a post-run drink and chat.
We will follow the NHS Couch to 5km plan and each Thursday, follow the plan for the first run of the week. You then run the other two runs each week on days that suit you. We suggest doing one of the runs at York parkrun on Saturday morning where you can always find a Holgate Harrier runner for moral support.
Your £15 gets you:
- 1 supported couch to 5km run each week and
- 15-month social membership to Holgate Harriers
Our social membership means you can carry on running with the club after the couch to 5k. Membership will run from January 2026 to March 2027. It gives you access to our regular runs, discounts and socials:
- club social runs every Thursday with a distance and pace to suit everyone
- fortnightly womens’ Let’s Lift the Curfew runs during the dark winter months
- fortnightly structured training sessions
- monthly tourism parkruns
- monthly trail runs
- discounts for running kit and services
- regular socials, including picnics, quizzes and evenings out
Spaces are limited so sign up here now for only £15!
