Next Step Training - Females in Training (FIT)
About this race
The Females-in-Training (FIT) program is designed for women of all ages who want to learn to run in a supportive, non-coed environment. FIT is primarily for women who are fairly new to running or coming back to running after a break. The FIT coaches will support and guide you so that you will be ready to run a 5K (3.1 miles) distance by the end of the program. If you are already running, you are welcome to participate if you do not run faster than a 10-minute pace for your typical run. If you are already faster than this pace, we encourage you to try one of the other Striders programs. All runners must be at least 18 years of age to participate in the program.
We want running to be a way for you to meet your fitness goals while having fun and developing friendships with women who are also embarking on their running journey.
The FIT Motto = Fitness, Fun and Friendship
