Who can join the clinic??
Anyone with an interest in improving their fitness, and learning more about the sport of running, is qualified to join. We offer two distinct programs: one for those just starting out (walk to run aka Running 101) and Running 201 for those still new to new running who want to continue to improve. The walk/jog program offers a safe and gradual introduction to running.

Within the running program, workouts are modified to meet everyone's ability.
