LMJS will be offering a beginning running program this fall to help you get ready to jog/walk a 5K! This program is designed for those who want to work up to a 5K which is 3.1 miles.
These training sessions begin on Wednesday, August 18 at 6:30pm and will be held for four consecutive Wednesdays at 6:30pm with a 5K race on the following Saturday. This will involve a sliding scale fee from $10 to $40.
Our Wednesday runs will take place at the beautifully renovated Lake Merritt. The first class will be held Wednesday August 18th at 6:30pm. We'll meet at the green grassy area between Bellevue Ave and Grand Ave, and across Bellevue Ave from Fairyland. The class will culminate with the Bad Bass Run, a totally fun 5K race at Lake Chabot to be held on Saturday, September 11 (race fee extra).
We'll provide training schedules, maps, and lots of encouragement. You'll need to come ready to run every Wednesday with a water bottle and towel for the end.
This training is appropriate for anyone who wants to work up to a 5K and for those who haven't run for awhile and want to begin again. RSVP required for this program, with a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 20 participants, to keep things safer.
Covid Protocols: We ask that all participants be club members and be vaccinated to keep our group as safe as possible. Come wearing a mask to check in. While running, it will be your personal preference to run with or without your mask. If you are not feeling well or have any covid symptoms, please refrain from coming. We will be following the applicable county Health Guidelines on the date of our run.
Come join the fun! E-mail Karen Andrews (runducksrun@gmail.com) or Ed Cruz (vitocruz@aol.com) with questions about the program.
