The Training Clinic is designed to prepare you for the Spa Running Festival 5K/10K on November 14, 2020 but everyone is encouraged to become stronger and faster as you train with us! 

Beginners:

If you have never trained for or run a race before …..we understand! Everyone of us has started with that hardest step, the one to sign up and begin that journey to a healthy lifestyle. We will have a level for each person that wants to begin that journey.

Intermediate Runners:

For those that have a solid foundation in running and want to improve their speed or distance, we will give you the advice you need to attempt that PR or set your sights on a longer race distance.

Advanced Runners:

No matter how fast you are, training in a group setting can help you achieve that new level in your running career. We will help push you to that podium finish!

How to participate 

The clinic is 100% free. All you need to do is sign up online to receive training plans, advice, and updates on how to train for the Spa Running Festival 5K or 10K.  Participants will be divided into 2 teams, the 5K group and the 10K group, and have a friendly competition to see which training group can log the most training miles! We will virtually recognize the winning team on the final clinic night and award them the high mileage travelling trophy.
