Marlborough Lions Couch To 5K

03/09/2026

Ok, we’re back at it for the 2026 season! Just in time to shake off this terrible weather and get moving again.

The signup link is attached, and by popular demand our Sunday sessions are now at 9 AM instead of 8.

I’m not sure how many more seasons I’ll be running, but I’m definitely in for this year and next. I’ll be honest—I’ve done zero exercise this winter because the weather was so depressing, but I’m determined to show up, put in the work, and finish this session in good shape. Fingers crossed.

Let’s make this another great year together!

I’m also adding a donation link for those of you who would like to support this program. Your generosity is a big part of what keeps this initiative running each season.
If your company or business is interested in sponsoring the program, feel free to email me. Sponsors will have their company logo featured on the back of the T‑shirts we hand out at the end of each session.

Thank You for an Incredible Couch to 5K Spring Season!

Dear Couch to 5K Team,

I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who participated in our Spring Program. We’ve officially wrapped up both our Mock 5K and the Make-Up Mock 5K, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished together.

Despite ten weeks of rainy, unpredictable weather, every single one of you showed up with dedication and resilience. It’s incredibly rewarding to see participants—many of whom had never run a 5K before—cross that finish line. You inspire us all.

A heartfelt thank you as well to our generous sponsors who helped make this program possible:

Lost Shoe

KB Lawns

Lemire Insurance Agency

Marlboro Nissan

Touchdown Carpet

Juniper Farms Ice Cream

Main St Café

Dairy Queen

Your support means the world to us.

We’ll be back this Fall—our next season kicks off on Tuesday, September 2nd, right after Labor Day. Until then, enjoy some well-deserved rest and keep moving!
