Description

Aiming to complete a 10K this year? Our Columbia coaching squad is ready train you safely past the finish line.  At Charm City Run we have no shortage of fun and supportive 10K training groups to help you achieve your goals.

You will meet twice a week for supported group runs with your fellow runners and coach — once for a speed workout and once for a distance run in addition to following a weekly training plan. Weekly emails will outline your training plans for the days you don’t meet and allow you to follow along on your own.

No running experience is necessary! Runners, walkers, and run/walkers of all levels are welcome!
