No Boundaries is our incredibly popular training program for beginner runners.  Thousands of people have taken part in our No Boundaries programs.  We've had people start with No Boundaries and then graduate to our 10K and then half marathon teams.  We have even had a few people go all the way to the marathon, and you can too!  No Boundaries is designed so that you will build mileage with a mix of walking and running gradually and after 8 weeks of training with your dedicated coaches, you will be able to run a complete 5k, and you'll have the camaraderie of others just like you.  Get ready to be with a highly social and supportive team!

We'll go out on a fun walk so you can get in a workout and see how the programs are structured.  Please note that this is a very popular program and that space is limited to 20 runners/walkers, so register early!

New Safety Measures

To keep all participants safe from COVID-19, we will follow a new set of rules at Fleet Feet training programs group training runs. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

• When you arrive at the group training run, check in with your coach. Your coach will ask you to certify that you have not been exposed to COVID-19. Please wear a mask or face coveing during the check in process if you are unable to distance by 6 feet or more.
•  
• Once you are checked in please maintain a 6-foot distance from other participants throughout the group training run. Please refrain from hugs, high fives, and other physical contact.
• Shared amenities will no longer be available at training programs group training runs. That means no cooler of water, no electrolytes, no foam rollers, etc. Please plan to bring everything you need to succeed.
• You will also not be able to leave any personal items in shared areas during your group training run. Please plan to bring all of your things with you, or plan to keep your things in your car.
• You will not be required to wear a face mask during your workout, but you are welcome to wear one if you would like to. If you plan to wear a mask, make sure you can breathe well enough to exercise while wearing it.
