Registration Link 

Discover the power of movement and the confidence that comes with consistency! Our beginner-friendly 5K and 10K training programs are designed to meet you exactly where you are—whether you're brand new to running, returning after time away, or ready to take the next step. You’ll learn how to build a sustainable fitness routine through walking and run/walk intervals, all while gaining support from a community that cheers for your progress and celebrates every milestone. Our goal is to help you move more comfortably, confidently, and efficiently at every stage of your walking or running journey. 

Couch-to-5K: A welcoming introduction to running or run/walking. This plan uses gradual, structured run/walk intervals to build endurance safely and successfully. 

10K: Ideal for those who have completed a 5K and want to keep growing. All runners and run/walkers are welcome. This program focuses on progressive increases in both time and mileage to help you reach new levels of endurance and is a great bridge toward future longer-distance training goals.
