We’re excited to be partnering with our friends from the Providence Heart to Start program to offer you a FREE 12-week running/walking training program! Rather than focusing on pace or ability, Heart to Start encourages taking several small steps (i.e. weekly training) and working toward a remarkable finish (i.e. goal event) where we celebrate each other as a community.

Unlike our previous seven monthly challenges, this challenge starts Monday, November 15, and ends on Friday, February 5. Set a challenging 12-week mileage goal and work really hard to reach it by the end!
