The Medved Endurance Project is a supportive, encouraging, community-based training program offered through Medved Running & Walking Outfitters. Our group includes walkers and runners of all levels—social accountability partners, marathon training pain-cave pushers, new moms, seasoned grandpas, and everyone in between.

For those who want to build consistency, strength, and endurance with supportive coaching and group accountability throughout the year, we have two membership levels that run in calendar-year quarters, but you can join at any time throughout the year.  Choose the schedule and membership level that works best for you:
