First Strides Allentown Summer / Fall

A 10-week program to help you comfortably progress from the couch to walking, jogging or running at a pace that’s right for you.

First Strides® meets weekly, offering presentations on topics ranging from what to wear to injury prevention. We then stretch and do a group walk/run. Please come dressed for activity.

Women from ages 12 to 112 are welcome to attend. Bring your daughters, mothers, neighbors, co-workers and friends.

Our mentors are First Strides® graduates,  Women’s 5K Classic committee members and Lehigh Valley Road Runners (LVRR) members.

We host 2 workshops in the summer at the Lehigh Parkway.  We meet in the evening from July 30th (31st) – October 1st (2nd) @ 6:15 pm.  You may select Tuesday night, Wednesday night or both.

Cost: $50 (early-bird specials $45 until July 27) for single night.  $90 (early-bird specials $85 until July 27) for both nights. Fee includes literature and graduation shirt (if earned by attending 7 out of 10 sessions).

Registration fee is non-transferrable between people or locations, and is non-refundable. Note: switching between nights is no longer possible.
