Need a push? Our Couch-to-5K team is here to help!

An important tradition of the Feaster Five Road Race has been the Couch to 5K training program, which helps motivate and train race participants. In the past, this training program was held in Andover, MA, on the race course every Sunday for eight weeks.

Due to COVID-19, the Couch to 5k program will be held virtually on Sundays from October 4th to November 22nd, 2020, via Zoom.

This will offer event participants the unique opportunity to socialize with others over Zoom and share in the training traditions of the Feaster Five .
