Haven't run in years? Perfect
We're starting a 9 week beginner programme in Marple designed for people who feel unfit, out of practice, or nervous about starting. We'll take you from zero to parkrun in 9 weeks.
You don't need to run already
You don't need fancy kit
You won't be left behind
We'll build you up gradually so that by the end, you'll be able to take part in parkrun - something you might not think is possible right now.
Friendly group. Zero pressure. Lots of encouragement.
This is for people starting from scratch, not seasoned runners. You don't need to be fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
!! Our P2P course for 2026 is now fully booked. Look out for the next course in 2027!!
What is Pub2parkrun?
This is Marple Runners version of Couch to 5K. The difference is we support you over 9 week sessions and then we all finish in style at Marple parkrun, celebrating your achievement and reaching your goal.
Unlike C25K which completes at 30minutes running - Here at Marple Runners we understand that this is generally not the case - certainly not for many of our p2p'ers and there is no pressure to achieve a 30min 5K. (Phew we hear you say!)
Who is it for?
This course is for adults 18+ and is ideal for a complete novice who has never run before, to a runner who maybe hasn't run for a long time and needs some structure and company to get back to running. Don't worry if you feel unfit, too old, too tired etc - we are here to support you.
How much is the programme?
The programme costs just £30.00 to be supported over the 9 weeks and includes a non-competitive club membership for the first year.
How do I book?
We will contact you after pre-registration then to book a place you will need to complete our online booking form and medical form - Places are limited.
Also keep an eye on our Facebook page as well as local social media pages for details of booking and availability.
