The Winston Family YMCA is partnering with Cowford Chophouse to offer free, six-week “Couch to 5K” and “Couch to 15K” training programs to 30 First Coast residents.

The two comprehensive training programs will help 30 individuals (15 participants in each program) prepare for either Cowford’s third annual MOO-VE IT 5K on March 2, or the Gate River Run 15K taking place on March 9,

The six-week training program features three trainer-led group running sessions per week, as well as additional health enrichment sessions. This all-inclusive program is open to both members and nonmembers, no matter your fitness level.

The training program began Jan. 21, with three group running opportunities each week:

Mondays at 5:30 p.m.

Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.

Saturday at 9 a.m.
