Virtual Run NI are able to support you in a Virtual Couch to 5km program, giving you access to a fully qualified UKA coach along your journey and Introduction to the sport.

We have successfully coached over 500 runners through our 8 week program over the past 3 years with many moving on to join their local running clubs.

We have an online community group with over approximately 1700 members, with a wealth of peer knowledge.

Everyone is treated with the same respect and professionalism whether you are a 15 mins 5km runner or a 15 mins mile runner.

Our aim to to grow the sport, break down the barriers to club running and bring the running community of Northern Ireland together through an element of fun and inclusiveness.

We can help you individually with a plan, or we can help groups (most recent graduation group was C25k with 30 nurses and healthcare workers all coached online in a private Facebook group)

If you would like to get involved in the sport, but don't have the opportunity to do it face to face with a club or group, get in touch and we will help you.
