Running Changes Everything

If you're new to running or walking and are simply looking to learn the best training practices and workout with a fun group that will train you to get across the finish line, we're the group for you. Whatever your goals, experience level or pace, our twice-annual 5K and 10K has got you covered.

Two Sessions to Choose from in 2024

• Spring (January - May) 

• Fall (July - October)

While we offer this program twice each year we have many participants who come back for more sessions or switch into some of our other programs like half or full marathons.  

Although the workouts are different, the beginner participants are part of our spring and fall marathon and half training programs and will enjoy all of the same perks, benefits, discounts and fun events as every one else!  To us, it's not how fast or far you walk or run, it's that you're getting out there and making it happen.

Spring 2024 Session Details

Our goal race is the Heart Mini 5K in March and the Flying Pig 5K or 10K in May and Hyde Park Blast in June! or you can simply gain the abilty to run/walk for 4+ miles at the end of our training session.
