Fall 2010-No Boundaries Beginner 5k Program

No Boundaries Beginner 5K Training Program, sponsored by New Balance, is designed for beginner runners and walkers who are currently inactive or minimally active.

Are you ready to train to run or walk your first 5K? This fall, join Fleet Feet Sports Madison and New Balance to walk or run your first 5K. The program focuses on beginners, but all levels of walkers and runners are welcome. The program is structured to help you cross the finish line of your first 5K in less than three months. We’ll be providing you with motivation to keep you moving, guidance and advice, weekly group training runs or walks, and educational clinics on topics such as proper nutrition, choosing the right gear, and avoiding injury. Plus, you’ll have the camaraderie of others. As part of the experience, program participants will receive the following for the cost of $75 per person:
