Team Training Program

Begins Saturday, August 24th

Setting a goal to run a 5K is exciting and challenging. Are you ready to sign-up for the 5K, but aren’t sure where to begin with training? Perhaps you are already running, but would like to improve your overall time. No matter your goal, we believe training with a group is more fun!

We would love to have you join us for this 8-week training program designed to help walkers and runners of all levels and abilities stay motivated and reach their goals by crossing the finish line this fall. Team training begins on Saturday, August 24 and concludes on race morning. Find a friend or family member to join you, or sign up solo—you’ll be sure to meet plenty of new training partners. The deadline to register for the team training program will be announced!

What’s Included:
• $40.00 per individual (includes 5K entry fee)
• 8 week training plan (beginner or intermediate) beginning on Saturday, August 24th
• Organized weekly group runs on Saturdays at 8:00a.m.

This event will be timed using a bibtag timing chips. The timing chip will be on the back of the run number. Please make sure your number is clearly visible on the front of your body. This will not need to be turned back in after the race – it is disposable. It will be a chip time start. That means your time will not start until you reach the start timing mat. Make sure your number is clearly visible on the front of your body. Gun Time is the time the gun/horn started the event. Chip Time is the time your chip crossed the start timing mat. The awards for this event are based on Chip Time.

Top 3 in each of the following categories:

  • Top 3 M/F Overall
  • Top 3 Age Groups (M/F): 10 & Under, 11-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34,35-39,40-44,45-49,50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70+
