Virtual Training Challenge - *this does NOT include your 5K race entry. For the in person program please add the Training Challenge to your 5k registration.

This virtual version of the Freihofer's Training Challenge allows you to receive the weekly workouts and complete the program on your own. You will receive videos explaining each workout along with videos with running tips to help you progress through the program. Virtual participants will have a mentor who will be doing weekly check-ins. You will receive a Training Challenge shirt (mailed to you for no additional cost). You must also sign up for the 5K (virtual or in person). In 2022 we will offer our popular in person group training at a variety of locations once again! You have an opportunity to meet with a group at least once per week. You can register for this program by signing up for the 5k and select Training Challenge as an add-on during the registration process.
