OK Timing 4-Miler Training

Get ready for the Poke Bayou 4-Miler (Sept. 11) with our 8-week running program. Hourlong sessions Monday and Thursday evenings each week beginning July 19 will familiarize you with the course and get you ready for its ups and downs. We start and finish at Batesville's Maxfield Park.

Each hourlong session will include a short coaching talk, warmup exercises, a 25-35 minute workout on a course segment, and cooldown stretching with a question-and-answer period.

Whatever your pace or starting condition, you won't have to worry about being too much of a slowpoke along the bayou! The program is ideal for those new to races and those of all experience levels looking to improve gently step by step. Clinic fee is $100 per person (family/group discounts available).
