Description

Please join us for our annual Runner's Image Fall Training Program. This 7 week program is geared towards beginning and intermediate walkers and runners -- most past participants are running at 9+ min/mile or walking at 15+ min/mile. You will be ready to compete in any race distance up to a 7k. The program culminates on Saturday, October 12th which is the date of Nik's Home Run 7k & 1.5 Mile Walk. Please note, entry fees to Nik's Home Run 7k & 1.5M are not included.

We will meet twice a week, Tuesdays at 6:00 pm and Saturdays at 7:00 am, for group training. Participants will be divided into smaller groups by pace. Each week you will receive a schedule which will include your walk/run workouts as well as some additional suggested training for strength, flexibility and injury prevention. You will also get a custom designed long sleeve shirt perfect for those cool fall days!

We will meet at Runner's Image for both our Tuesday evening and Saturday morning workouts utilizing the Rock River Recreation path as well as neighborhood streets north and south of State Street along the river for our workouts. For more fun we do our post-workout refueling and hydration at Carlyle Brewing Co. on Tuesdays and Crust & Crumbles on Saturdays, both of these are purely optional social gatherings--but we do have a lot of fun and it's a great way to get acquainted with your fellow participants!

Cost is $70 and a portion of the proceeds after expenses will go directly to the Nikolas Ritschel Foundation. For more information about this wonderful charity please go to www.nikolasritschelfoundation.org Entry fees to Nik's Home Run 7k & 1.5M are not included.
