Tiger - Half-Marathon Walk *Extra homework required!
Incl. $7.60 Fee
Goal: walk a Half Marathon (13.1 miles). Criteria: Able to walk 4-5 miles at a time and 10-12 miles per week at the beginning of the clinic. Training for a half marathon is significantly more of a time commitment vs. 5k/10k. You must be injury-free when beginning. Mileage begins at 12-13 miles per week, Week 1, and progresses to 26 miles per week by week 9. This averages out to approximately 7.5 hours per week. Don't sign up for this group if you're not prepared to make that extra commitment to walk a half marathon.

Panther - Walk-to-Run Group
Incl. $7.60 Fee
Currently walking and wish to sensibly transition to running. Goal: Complete a 5K (3.1 miles). Important suggestion for Panther group participants: Walk 30-45 minutes, 3-4 days/week for 6-8 weeks prior to the beginning of the clinic for a safer transition to running. Note: If you are out of shape and try to start running before you have been walking regularly (and injury-free) for several weeks, you will struggle. If you have not been walking regularly by the time the clinic begins, you may switch to a walk group.
