MORE RUNNERS = MORE FUN!

We run training programs throughout the year to offer camaraderie, structure, skill-building clinics, and support to runners and walkers of all levels.

These coached programs include individual instruction; group runs; custom training plans; seminars on stretching, nutrition, cross-training, and form; race preparation and support; and a lot of fun!

 The classes run for four to 16 weeks. Most are directed toward specific goal races.
