Intermediate Runners:
For those that have a solid foundation in running and want to improve their speed or distance, we will give you the advice you need to attempt that PR or set your sights on a longer race distance.
Advanced Runners:
No matter how fast you are, training in a group setting can help you achieve that new level in your running career. We will help push you to that podium finish!
How to participate
The clinic is 100% free. All you need to do is sign up online, show up as often as you can, and try your best. We understand what it's like to begin a run/walk program and will do our best to support you in this journey. NEW THIS YEAR... there is only one group to sign up for and everyone complete the same route and challenge (see below). BUT... There will be 3 levels, beginner, intermediate, and advance that will go different paces and distances. Truly, something for everyone!
Safety for all of our runner is our top priority. Due to the large number of participants we do not allow children, strollers, or dogs. Thank you for your understanding of this policy.
