Greater Waterbury YMCA Fall Running Program

 

Registration Closing Date

Saturday, September 29, 2012 @ 11:59 PM PST

Brief Description

Take over the streets of Waterbury with us and Join the Y Running Program!

We will be offering two levels of running groups this Fall. For both levels our target race is the Fischang-Cicchetti Memorial Run on Sunday November 18th that starts at the Y.

Please see below to see which category you belong in:

OPTION 1: Beginner Running

Join our Beginner Running Program and safely work your way up to 5 miles in 10 weeks. This program will introduce you to the sport of fitness running as a life-long activity and prepares you to complete a road race at your own pace and injury free: all ages and levels are welcome. There will be leaders at all of the runs so no one ever has to run alone.

OPTION 2: *NEW!!!* Level 2 Running

This program is for anyone who has past running experience and would like to become a better and faster runner. Participants should be able to complete a 5k run without walking. Workouts will vary and will include longer runs, speed work, hill repeats and a faster running pace.

Target Race

The Fischang-Cicchetti Memorial Run on Sunday November 18th that starts on the front steps of the Y. Registration to any of the YMCA Running Programs includes your race registration.
