The HYP Running Club is partnering with Next Step Performance on a "Summer Sunday RunDay" series, a program inspired by comedian Kevin Hart to introduce newcomers to the sport of running. We want to encourage all skill levels and all ages to participate, including parents with run strollers and beginners who may need to occasionally walk.  Walking is encouraged!  These runs are not a competition; they are about beginning a healthy and active lifestyle.

Summer Sunday RunDay runs will be held on the 2nd and 4th Sunday morning of every month, beginning April 23rd.  We will meet shortly before 8:00 am (location below) and head out for a short warm-up.  After 5 to 10 minutes of stretching we will start the 3.1-mile (5K) run at around 8:15.

Join us after our riverfront runs for brunch at the Harrisburg Hilton.  The Hilton has generously offered to be our post-run brunch partner, offering us a 10% discount and an incredible Bloody Mary and Mimosa Bar.
