Training

🏃‍♀️🚶 Training Plans to Get You Event-Ready!
Whether you’re planning to walk, run, or do a little of both, we’ve got training options to help you feel confident, prepared, and excited on event day. Choose the plan that fits your style and schedule—and let’s get moving!

🚶 Option 1: Walkers (5K Walking Plan)
If you’re focusing on walking the event, we recommend a classic for a reason. This Hal Higdon Walkers 5K Plan is simple, effective, and beginner-friendly. It’s perfect if you’re new to structured training or just want a clear, no-stress path to the finish line.
Plus, Hal Higdon’s site is packed with extra tips, FAQs, and resources—great support if this is your first event.

🏃‍♂️ Option 2: Run/Walk Participants (9-Week Plan)
Looking to mix running and walking? This 9-week run/walk training plan is designed especially for beginners who want structure without overwhelm.
The plan breaks everything down week-by-week, with:
  • Clear daily workouts
  • Guided run/walk intervals
  • ​Progress that builds gradually and safely
It’s easy to follow and flexible enough to fit into busy schedules.

​🌟 Wednesday Night Group Runs

One of the best parts of the run/walk plan? Wednesday night workouts are built in!
  • These sessions line up perfectly with our group runs
  • Volunteer leaders can easily guide the workout
  • ​Can’t make it on a Wednesday? No problem—the workout is fully outlined so you can do it on your own
If you can join us, it’s a great chance to meet other participants, swap tips, and stay motivated together.
No matter which plan you choose, the goal is the same: have fun, stay consistent, and enjoy the journey. We can’t wait to train with you! 🎉
