How far should I be running or walking before I join the program?
You can join this program with no previous experience! This program has a place for everyone! We have people every year who join us right off the couch and other who have years of experience. The size of this program provides a place for some with no exercise experience to very experienced runners and walkers. Here you will find people with similar fitness goals and those looking to improve their lifestyle with many healthy living choices. The groups are the best part of this program, many people find new friends and training partners.
