The Training Clinic:

The Training Clinic is designed to prepare you for the Spa Running Festival 5K/10K/Half Marathon on November 16, 2024 but everyone is encouraged to become stronger and faster as you train with us! 

Beginners:

If you have never trained for or run a race before …..we understand! Everyone of us has started with that hardest step, the one to sign up and begin that journey to a healthy lifestyle. We will have a level for each person that wants to begin that journey.

Intermediate Runners:

For those that have a solid foundation in running and want to improve their speed or distance, we will give you the advice you need to attempt that PR or set your sights on a longer race distance.

Advanced Runners:

No matter how fast you are, training in a group setting can help you achieve that new level in your running career. This group is not based on speed but ability to run 3+ miles steady. We will help push you to that podium finish!

How to participate 

The clinic is 100% free. All you need to do is sign up online, show up as often as you can, and try your best. We understand what it's like to begin a run/walk program and will do our best to support you in this journey. IF YOU SELECT A GROUP AND WANT TO CHANGE....NO PROBLEM! It's as easy as just moving to another group at the clinic. Just let a coach in that group know you are joining them. 

Safety for all of our runner is our top priority.  Due to the large number of participants we do not allow kids, strollers, or dogs.  Thank you for your understanding of this policy.
