New Balance No Boundaries Begin to Run Program

Our next No Boundaries session will begin in March 2010. Please check back soon for details on our next session.

The New Balance No Boundaries program is designed for those with little to no running experience who would like to complete their first 5K road race. It is a ten-week, coached training program that includes a weekly group run. In addition to the group run, you will be expected to go out twice a week on your own. You will start out with a combination of walking and running, with most participants being able to run the full 5K race distance at the end of ten weeks. Last year over 200 people successfully completed the program. The registration fee of $75 also includes a team tech shirt and entry into the goal 5K event.

Brooks Hot Feet Distance Training Runs

The Brooks Hot Feet Training Runs are now combining two great group runs into one. Fleet Feet Sports will still be having the ever popular 12-week program designed to help those training for a fall marathon, but participants will now also have the option to run a shorter course if they desire. For those who choose the short course, they will have the option to run anywhere from 3-8 miles, while the individuals training for a marathon will have a schedule of distances as they have in the past. This twelve-week program takes place on Sunday mornings from mid-July through early October. The runs take place at 7:30 AM from the Boat House at Green Lakes State Park. There will also be water stops along the course for everyone to refuel. A combination of smooth trails, lake trails, and low-traffic roads are used each week. This is a free program and you can come any week you wish. Participants can run any distance they want, and they can adjust the weekly distance to meet their training schedule. In 2009 over 300 people participated in the Hot Feet Training program.
