TRAINING PROGRAM OUTLINE
We offer the following training programs: Beginner 5k | Beginner 10k | Beginner Half | Intermediate Half | Advanced Half.

Our goal is to help you develop on a healthy, injury free trajectory. With our experience, we sincerely believe this is the best supervised program available in Arizona.
 

Beginner 5K Program
Qualifications: You are able-bodied, injury free and have set a goal of completing a 3.1 mile (5K) running event. Youmay or may not have walked a 5k event in the past, but wish to find a program that gets you safely across the finish line. We have the program for you!

Beginner 10K Program
Qualifications: You can run/walk 1-2 miles with 50% running and have set a goal of completing a 6.2 mile (10K) running event. Perhaps you have completed a 5K event, maybe not. We have the program to get you to the finish.

Beginner Half Marathon Program
