Fall 5K Training Group

WHY JOIN OUR 5K TRAINING PROGRAM?

Training for and completing a 5K (3.1 mi) is a challenging and rewarding endeavor. Participants in our programs benefit from our professional head coaches, experienced mentors, and managed group workouts on the Springfield area’s best paths, as well as informational clinics on nutrition, hydration, gear, injury prevention, stretching techniques, and more.

• Individualized training in a group setting.  Our proven program has served nearly ten thousand half marathoners. Over the past thirteen years, participants have given the program an average rating of 4.8 stars (out of five) and more than 90% have completed their goal race.  An independent study supports our internal surveys.
• Experienced, professional head coaching.  Our degreed and credentialed head coaches assess each participant's current fitness level and goals and ensure that they train at an appropriate level.
• Safe.  We take pride in helping participants gradually and safely improve their fitness levels.  Our mission is to help team members move more comfortably and perform better at every athletic stage of their journey.
• Our community is vast.  You won't be alone!  Our experienced mentors offer support and motivation to athletes across a wide variety of pace groups.
