Description

Are you planning on running a 5K in 2026? Our 5K programs can help you transition from walk to run, get you back into running if it’s been a while and also help you PR your 5K. We can meet you based on your goal.

We’ll meet twice weekly and combine speed work and interval training with runs or walks up to the 5K distance.  In 2026, we are offering the following programs:
