The Cornelius Parks, Arts, Recreation and Culture Department will start a Couch-to-5K running plan beginning next week.

The six-week program will meet at the Bailey Middle School track Monday, Jan. 16, and meet every Monday and Wednesday until Feb. 22.

The class will teach proper warm up techniques and running workouts to build participants up to running longer distances.

The class costs $40 for Cornelius residents and $48 for non-residents. Register at Town Hall or contact the PARC Department at 704-892-6031 or online at www.corneliuspr.org.
