Running has plenty of physical and mental health benefits including improved cardiovascular health, sleep, mood, energy, immune system and more. And while it’s an accessible sport for many—all you need is a pair of sneakers and a sidewalk (or treadmill)—it can feel intimidating knowing where to start.

As a sponsor of the B.A.A. medley races, including the Boston Marathon, the B.A.A. 10K and B.A.A. Half Marathon, as well as the presenting sponsor of the B.A.A. 5K, we at Point32Health are here to help guide and empower healthier lives. To get started in your running journey or to prepare for the B.A.A. 5K or any other 5K race, use our Couch to 5K Challenge as a guide:
