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.  And if you're a seasoned runner who can complete a 5K or 10K already, we're here to help you improve on your time and performance with a structured and organized training plan within a socially minded, fun program.  So whatever your goals, experience level or pace, our twice-annual 5K and 10K has got you covered.

Two Sessions to Choose from in 2021

• Spring (January - May) 

• Fall (July - October) Registration Now Open

While we offer this program twice each year we have many participants who come back for more sessions or graduate on to 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.
