Running 101 Class

Get ready to hit the ground running with our energizing Running 101 program! Starting on Tuesday, April 9th, join us for a six-week journey towards your first 5K, with weekly meet-ups at 6:15 p.m. at Fort Marcy Park. Coaches Liz Sponagle and Carol Davenport, both veteran runners with USAT certifications, will break down the basics, from perfecting your form to preventing injuries and optimizing nutrition. Each class promises engaging discussions followed by a 30-minute run/walk session, all building up to your grand finish — crossing the line at The Santa Fe Run Around 5K on May 18, 2024.
