Can you tell me more about the 5K Training groups?

No Boundaries includes four groups: walking, advanced walking, interval running, and running. All groups will start at 1 mile and work up to a 5K (3.1 miles). Walkers walk the entire distance, interval running includes run/walk intervals starting at running for 30 seconds and walking for 2 minutes and finishing the program at running for 2 minutes and walking for 1 minute; and the running group runs with no breaks. No Boundaries is all about the distance and having fun, so we don't have specific paces we're hitting!

Here's the great thing: if you start with one group and decide you want more of a challenge, or less, you can change groups! Make sure to talk with Coach Elizabeth and your mentors for advice! Walkers can move to intervals, runners can move to intervals, intervals can move to walking, etc.

Any rules?

All No Boundaries participants must have identification with emergency contact information on them at all workouts.

Earphones are NOT allowed at workouts.

Participants must have reflective gear and lights when warranted.

Participants must have a hydration system with them during all workouts. 

Participants must stay with No Boundaries mentor at all times.

Do we do any races?

The goal race for the Fall 2018 No Boundaries 5K Training is the Drumstick Dash 5K!

What does the cost of 5K Training go towards?

The registration fees go towards coaching staff, equipment, insurance and part of the registration goes back to the City of Roanoke to help maintain the Greenways and facilities that we use.

Please note: cost of the goal race is NOT included in registration!
