This 12-week training program is geared toward new runners. Certified coaches will provide guidance and suggestions for weekly training as participants work up to running the Butte to Butte 5K on July 4. Participants can expect to start with walking and jogging and build toward continuously running for at least 5 km.
The group will meet weekly to run, with the occasional guest speaker. Saturday time commitment will start at 8:30 a.m. and run until 9:30 or 10 a.m., depending on whether the day's session includes a speaker. The YMCA will be the primary practice location, but local parks and trails will also be utilized. Participants will receive a free T-shirt, complimentary socks, and a discount at Run Hub for the duration of the training program!
