Description

Are 5Ks your distance? Whether you are a walker looking to take your first running steps or an experienced 5Ker looking to improve your speed, there is a place in our training group for you! At Charm City Run we have no shortage of fun and varied 5Ks to participate in and our Bel Air coaches are ready to get you past the finish line.

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!
