Xtra Mile Run/Walk Registration
About this race
This is the registration page for Xtra Mile Running's Spring & Fall intro to running sessions. The program is free to all, and there is a registration option to get a t-shirt each session, too. Read on to learn the basics before signing up.
The WHAT: A 10-week training program with the goal of completing a 5k upon completion (Note: The Run for the Roses 5K on 6/7/26 and the Roselle Turkey Trot 5k on 11/26/26 are a separate registration for which our training 5K members will receive a discount).
The HOW: Two days a week running & walking with Coach Diane, and help from our community of enthusiastic volunteers. Tuesdays at 6:15pm, starting 3/24, from Xtra Mile Running and Saturdays at 9am at Volkening Lake. An informational session for the Spring session will be held on Tuesday, 3/17 at 6:15pm at Xtra Mile Running to answer your questions! We’ll start with run/walk and gait analysis while increasing your endurance every week. In order to succeed we first must fail… often!
The WHY: The answer to this questions depends on what drives you. Are you internally or externally motivated? Are you looking to lose inches? Increase energy or fitness? Prove to yourself you can do it? Prove to the doubters that you will follow through? Understanding your motivation and keeping focused on that is just as important as your training. Don't be shy about the why!
