October 5K Training
TRAIN WITH A SUPPORTIVE GROUP TO RACE TO REACH YOUR FALL GOALS!
Join us for our October 5K group and get ready for your best fall racing! Whether you are a walker looking to take your first running steps or an experienced 5Ker looking to improve your speed, there is a place in our training group for you! You are welcome to target a local or virtual 5K as your end goal but whether or not you race at the end, this group will help you establish a consistent running routine for six weeks!
You will meet twice a week for supported group runs with your fellow runners and coach - once for a speed workout and once for a distance run in addition to following a weekly training plan. Weekly emails will outline your training plans for the days you don’t meet and allow you to follow along on your own for a virtual experience if you wish.
No running experience necessary! Runners, walkers and run/walkers of all levels welcome!
Join a New 5K Group!
Our next 5K groups start Saturday, September 17th as we train for the Cat’s and Bat’s 5K in Aberdeen. Regardless of if you want to race - join the group to enjoy creating a consistent running routine with a supportive small group!

Word on the Street
"When I turned 54, I thought, ‘now is the time to join a running program!’ I did not feel out of place in this group. I felt welcomed and encouraged. So I kept attending and laughing and training and, to my surprise, started to be able to run a short distance without stopping. When I started I literally could not run around a city block without stopping. With many of my friends from my running group, I ran my first 5K without walking at the Baltimore's Women's Classic a few months later. I was so amazed that I was able to accomplish this that I actually cried."
