Sabattus Rec Plans Couch To 5K Program  

SABATTUS —    The Sabattus Rec Club is planning a Couch To 5k walking/running program this spring, beginning April 10 and lasting 9 weeks. The Couch To 5K (C25K) program will be held at the Oak Hill Middle School on Ball Park Road in Sabattus on Wed., nights beginning at 5:30 p.m. There will hopefully also be Sat. morning “free runs/workouts.” 

The C25K program is a popular exercise/running course designed to ease people off their couches and into a cardio exercise regimen that will help them build up endurance to complete a 5k race. Participants of all abilities will receive exercise tips, running and training suggestions, and helpful nutrition suggestions.           

The course is open to residents of Sabattus and surrounding towns, and particpants must be 14 years and older. Those under 18 will need parental permission. There will be a $12 registration fee.  

For more information or to register, contact Jon Mennealy at 375-8105 or go to www.sabattusrec.com and click on the running tab.
