No Boundaries - The Big Run 5K Training 2026

No Boundaries - The Big Run 5K Training 2026

Our Fleet Feet Bloomington No Boundaries 5K Training Program is an 8-week program is designed to help you cross the finish line of your first 5K, cross it again after taking time off from running, or help seasoned runners meet a new performance goal. Whether you are brand new to exercise or are currently doing a run/walk routine this program is for you! 

We believe it is important to train with a goal in mind, usually (but not always) that goal is a race. For this program our graduation race will be The Big Run 5K on Wednesday, June 3, 2026 in Bloomington, IL. However, you can also use this program to train for any race you choose or just to run with great people.

There will be an optional informational session on Tuesday, March 31 at 6:00 p.m. at Fleet Feet. Come learn more details about the program to determine if it is the right one for you. The first workout will be Tuesday, April 7 at 6:00 p.m. at Fleet Feet.
