The Spring Run Club is designed for runners looking to ramp up their running after winter, fine tune their speed as we head into spring, or a group to stay consistent with their running throughout the year. We will complete a 10 week training program together with a goal of racing The Sea Dogs Mother’s Day 5k.  

This group is open to beginners and veterans with weekly options to walk/run, run, or participate in a speed focused workout (typically 4-8 miles total distance).
