Weber State University provides training resources for individuals preparing for a 5K or the WSU Race Series. These resources include a six-week Couch to 5K program and a Strava running group.
The Couch to 5K program is designed for various fitness levels, including those new to running or those seeking to build endurance. The program, which is scheduled to run from September 26 to November 7, 2026, includes weekly workouts and weekly check-ins from the Race Series Student Manager.
Participants in the Couch to 5K program join the WSU Race Series Strava club. This allows for weekly leaderboards, engagement, and tips between races. The program also provides an opportunity for participants to find running or walking partners via the app.
Registration for the Couch to 5K program includes entry for the Turkey Triathlon and 5K Trot on November 7. The cost for the program is $50 for students, $60 for faculty and staff, and $65 for the community.
The Strava running group offers a platform for weekly leaderboards and community engagement between races.
