Our Summer 2020 No Boundaries Program is a 7-week beginners training program structured to help you cross the finish line of your first 5K (or cross it again after taking time off from running).  Whether you are brand new to exercise or are currently doing a run/walk routine this program is for you!  For this program our graduation race will be The St. Jude 5K on Saturday, September 19, 2020.  However, you can also use this program to train for any race you choose or just to learn to run with great people.

There will be a Facebook live program informational session on Thursday, July 30 at 7:15 pm.  Tune in to find out if this is the right program for you.  Our program kick-off and first workout will be Tuesday, August 4 at 6:00 pm.

When:   Training runs will be at 6:00 pm on Tuesdays and 7:30 am on Saturdays

Where: The group will meet at Tipton Park, Rosa Parks Commons, Rollingbrook Park and other locations in Bloomington-Normal. Participants will receive a program calendar that highlights where the group will meet each week as well as weekly email reminders.  Due to COVID guidelines we will always meet outdoors for the duration of the program.

Program Cost: $70 per participant. Cost for this program does not include registration for the graduation race but participants do receive a race discount. 

Virtual Option: $50 per participant. If you're just not ready to meet with us in person (or live out of town) you can register for our all-virtual option.  You'll still receive all perks listed below (training plan, invitation to Facebook group, shirt, store discount, emailed educational content) but will complete your training runs outside of our group meeting times.  Type in promo code VIRTUAL20 on the payment screen to adjust the program price.

**Please note:  in-person or virtual option must be selected at program start.  We will not be able to switch program options or offer refunds at any point after the program has started.

Additional Info: Due to the uncertainly of COVID this program will have some changes from our usual offerings.  Participants will need to provide their own hydration for runs but we will help you figure that out at our kickoff session.  We won't be able to provide a key box or any shareable tools, gear or snacks.  At any point in time our program may become virtual.  There is limit of 50 participant/mentors for this program.  No matter what happens we will still show you how Running Changes Everything and Running Will Never Be Cancelled.
