Organiser's Description

This training group will prepare the beginning or returning runner to complete a 5K (3.1 miles), either using a run-walk-run method or by continuous running. We'll start with 1-mile on September 18, and gradually increase the goal distance each week. Everyone is welcome! We'll have groups for brand new runners (can walk 1 mile or more) and advanced runners (can run 1-mile or more).



We will meet each Wednesday evening at 6:00 PM, September 24 - November 19, 2025, at the Korean War Memorial at Cascades Park, 1001 S Gadsden St. The cost is free! Parking is available at many locations throughout the area.



Wear running shoes and comfortable, breathable running/fitness attire. Bring a water bottle and beach towel/mat for stretching after the run. Please leave valuables in your vehicle.
