The Women Running and Walking Program kicks off June 30, 2008 at the Agricenter at 5:30 pm. At the kick off there will be guest speakers on nutrition and gear. Freebies for the lucky ladies and learn about the different groups available to run or walk with.
The walking program will use a conservative walk method for beginners up to advance. We will help you reach the 3.1 miles needed to walk the 5k. Several walking groups will be available: those who haven’t been walking, those who are walking some and those who have been walking and want to power walk faster and longer. The goal of the Running and Walking Program is for everyone to run or walk or power walk a 5k on Sept 6, 2008 at Audubon Park. There will be no race day registration this year – you can only participate in the 5k race if you participated in the program. Group walks will be on Monday nights starting July 7th and ending on Aug 25th. The program starts at 6:30 pm so please be there 10 minutes early to sign in and ask any questions and be ready to start the program. We will be park and start at 8000 Wolf River Blvd., which is a medical building parking lot. Please follow the signs that will be out on Germantown Parkway to find us.
Mark Higginbotham will once again come out and give a great presentation on walking the right way. Please try to be here for that wonderful program. Date will be published later. Everyone needs to bring water, bug spray (might be needed), leave valuables at home or do not leave valuables in plain site in cars and last do not leave keys hidden around cars. No strollers, pets, or children under 8 years old at the training sessions. Any child 8 and older, mothers must sign waiver and stay with them for the entire time.
Please bring a friend, relative or co-worker! We are looking forward to another great summer and meeting lots of new people. Please let us know if we can do anything to make it a more positive experience.
Thanks
