Jog Belfast Comes to Linen Quarter

Beginner-Friendly and Community-Focused, Jog Belfast is a 10-week couch to 5k programme designed especially for complete beginners. With two one-hour sessions each week, participants are guided by friendly, Athletics NI–accredited coaches who tailor the training to individual progress and confidence.

Each cohort works toward a shared goal: completing a 5K graduation run at a local parkrun in Week 10, helping participants step into a supportive running community long after the programme ends.

This city-centre programme will also feature a special nutrition seminar delivered by a Registered dietitian from the Active Belfast team— a first for Linen Quarter programme.

Join us, get moving, and be part of a new community of runners in the Linen Quarter!
