Conwy Mind Launches ‘Buxton Movers’ Couch to 5k with Support from Buxton Water and Mind

We’re delighted to announce a brand-new wellbeing initiative – Buxton Movers – a free 12-week Couch to 5k running group launching this summer in Conwy County!

Thanks to generous support from Buxton Water and funding from our national partner Mind, this project is part of a shared mission to help people improve their mental wellbeing through movement, connection, and community.

The Buxton Movers programme is ideal for:

• People completely new to running
• Those who’ve run before but want a fresh start in a relaxed, supportive environment
• Anyone looking to boost their mood, reduce stress, or meet new people

Led by a qualified run leader, participants will be guided from walking to running 5k across 12 weeks – at a pace that suits them.

“I was apprehensive at first, but it’s changed my life.”
