About the Program
The Winter 8K Training Program runs from Feb. 6 through April 9. It is a beginner training program for adults of all ages and abilities that will train you to run an 8 kilometer (4.97mile) race. The program will build your endurance with a combination of walking and running over time. In addition, the program will offer the benefits of improved cardiovascular fitness, reduced adverse health factors, safe training methods, and fun! The target graduation race is the Springburst 8K on April 9, 2016 at Greenbelt Park. *Registration for this race is not included in the program fee.*.
