We will also be offering many clinics throughout the year. We offer Beginner Clinics, 5-10k clinics, 2 Speed clinics, 1/2 Marathon Clinics, Full Marathon Clinics and the Around the Bay Clinics. Here is the info on them and the dates they start.
Beginner Clinics
Our Beginner clinics are a walk/run program. They run every Monday and Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. for approximately 1 hour. We always go 5k, but start out slow. The first week, we run 1 min, walk 1.5 min. repeatedly for the first half (2.5k) and then run 2 min. walk 1.5 min for the second half of the run. Proper form is taught, along with breathing and techniques to make running enjoyable. Each week, we add a minute onto our running. By the end of the 8 week clinic, everyone is running close to the 5k with just a few water breaks. This program is for beginners, or those who haven't run in a while and want to get back at it.
Cost:
The cost for this clinic is $99.99. This signs you up for 1 year of running at Runner's Den. This gives you the freedom to join the clinic again, i f, for whatever reason, you were not able to finish, or continue on running with us in the 5k club. This also entitles you to join the 5-10k clinic within the year, with no added fee. We have 5 beginner clinics during the year..they are as follows:

5-10k clinics:
We offer two 5-10k clinics throughout the year. One in July and one in November. They, as well, are on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. This clinic is for someone who has completed the beginner clinic and wants to increase their mileage, or for the runner who can already do 5k comfortably but would like to join in group runs to bring their mileage up to 10k. Our first week, we start off running 5.5k, and each week, we increase it either by .5 of a km or a full km. By the end of 8 weeks, you will be running 10k with a few water breaks.
Cost:
If you are not a member with us, the cost is $99.99 for the year. After you are done this clinic, you may run with us every Monday and Wednesday for the year with the 10k group.
