Training group open house January 3

What are you going to do in 2012?

How about, run with us? We offer training programs for walkers and runners for 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon distances. More runners = more fun!

Learn more about our programs on Tuesday, January 3, at a training group open house. We'll have information about our upcoming programs, coaches on hand, a fun run of 2 or 4 miles, treats, a slideshow of 2011's greatest hits, and a raffle to win a free pair of shoes or a free training class.

The programs typically meet at the store on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. and at various park locations on Saturday mornings.

Included in the training are fully supported group runs twice a week; customized training plans for the 4- to 16-week program; access to coaches and fitness experts; health and fitness clinics on stretching, nutrition, cross training, injury prevention, and other related topics; a technical workout t-shirt for race day; logistical support for the culminating race; many giveaways and group discounts; and a whole lot of camaraderie and support.

The raffle on Tuesday will be raising money for the ALS Association of Sacramento, through run group member Jackie Charonis who is running a fundraiser race sponsored by the association in Roseville on Saturday, January 7.
