KANNAPOLIS – Kannapolis Parks and Recreation has several opportunities for people to get fit this summer.

C25K – Couch to 5K – This program is designed to help transform lifestyles. Participants will learn everything in order to get up off the couch and become a 5K participant — nutrition, fitness and how to buy running shoes.

Certified running coach Tabelech Shipp will guide eight weeks of training from Aug. 17 to Oct. 7. Classes will be Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Village Park. The fee for the class is $35.

At the end of the training, participants will be able to participate in Run Kannapolis and the Oct. 10 Nutrithon 5K held in the city.
