Tonight's the night. 💛

If you've been thinking about it, this is your sign to stop waiting and just come along.

Nobody starts Couch to 5K as a runner. We all start in exactly the same place.

One step. One session. One decision to give yourself a chance.

⏰ Arrive by 6:40pm for a 7pm start

Bring a friend if you like. We'll take care of the rest.

Tonight is the start of something special. 💚

At 7pm, 100 people will take that first step on their Couch to 5K journey. Some will be nervous. Some will be excited. Some will be wondering if they can really do it.

They can.

Eight weeks from now, they'll achieve something they once thought was impossible.

If you've been thinking about joining us, registrations will remain open until 5pm today. Don't spend another year saying "maybe next time."

This is the last Couch to 5K programme of 2026.

Take the first step. We'll help with the rest.

💚 Couch to 5K starts tonight at 7pm

🏃‍♀️ MEET YOUR TEAMS! 🏃‍♂️

The countdown is on and we can't wait to welcome you to the start of our Summer Couch to 5K programme!

If you're joining us on Monday 1st June, please arrive at Be Strong, Alan Ramsbottom Way, Great Harwood, no later than 6:40pm. This will give us time to get everyone signed in, introduce your leaders and volunteers, and get you into the right groups ready for a 7:00pm start.

We are genuinely excited to meet so many new faces. Whether you've never run before, haven't exercised for years, or are simply looking for a fresh start, you've already taken the hardest step by signing up.

Over the next 8 weeks you'll be supported by an incredible team of leaders and volunteers who have all been exactly where you are now.

Every one of them started as a beginner, completed the programme themselves, and understand exactly what it feels like to take those first nervous steps. They are living proof that this programme works.

At Be Strong, nobody gets left behind. We run together, support each other, celebrate every milestone and achieve things that many never thought possible.

And there's still time to join us! 🙌

We'll be keeping registration open right up until 6pm on Monday, so if you know someone who's been thinking about taking part, now is the time to give them a nudge.

📲 Tag them below, share this post, or send them a message. You could be helping someone take the first step towards changing their life.

And one final thing...

This is the last Couch to 5K programme of 2026. If you've been telling yourself "I'll do the next one", there isn't a next one this year.
So take the leap. Turn up. Trust the process.
Eight weeks from now you'll be amazed at what you can achieve.

Let's do this together. 💪❤️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

A massive good luck to our incredible Half & Half team.

Every mile ran, every minute walked and every bit of encouragement along the way is being done for somebody who truly deserves it.

We’re genuinely proud of every single one of you already.

Now let’s stick together, look after each other and make tomorrow one to remember.

Nobody gets left behind. 💛🔥❤️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

What a day ❤️🌈

Honestly, where do I even start.

Today was everything this group deserved and more.

Every single person should feel massively proud of themselves. The commitment, consistency and support shown week after week has been incredible to watch.

Today wasn’t really about running. It was about confidence, belief, turning up when you didn’t feel like it and proving to yourself that you’re capable of more than you think.

The colours, the medals, the food, the drinks, the laughs afterwards… just one of those days you wish you could bottle up.

Thank you to every single person who’s been part of it. You made today special 🌈🏅🍻

Tomorrow is more than just a colour run. 🌈

Week after week you turned up, put the work in and kept moving forward together.

I’m genuinely proud to have been part of it and privileged to train alongside such an amazing group of people.

I hope every one of you is as proud of yourselves as I am of you, because what you’ve achieved really matters.

Tomorrow, enjoy every second. Get covered in colour, collect your medal and celebrate what you’ve earned.

Then afterwards we’ll do what Be Strong does best… food, drinks and a good laugh together 🍻🏅
