Butterfly Dash 5k/10k Training

Join our walking only training program! WalkStrong is a walking program designed specifically for those who want to take their first steps toward a more healthy, active lifestyle. No previous exercise experience is required! The program concludes with participants walking their first 5K (3.1 mile) race!

Regular exercise boosts energy, improves mood, reduces stress, improves sleep, improves flexibility and balance, increases bone mass and muscle mass, improves circulation, helps with weight management, and reduces risks of chronic disease. If you're ready to reap the benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle, WalkFIT is for you!

Challenge yourself to complete a 5K! Get into shape with our NO BOUNDARIES™ training program and complete your first 5k! The benefits of exercise are many, with the most important being: improved cardiovascular health, improved bone health, improved mood and better coordination. The program focuses on beginners, but all levels of walkers and runners are welcome. Along the way 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 just like you. Sign up today to run your first 5K and commit to making a life change.

The goal of the Next Steps 8-week training program is to help beginner runners complete their first 10K or intermediate runners achieve their 10K time goal. This is a great Next Step for participants in our current No Boundaries Begin to Run program. The program is designed for people currently running 20 minutes comfortably.
