Other Information

The Russell Run Club is continuing our goal of adding more adult events by starting a beginner running program this Summer. Our Learn (or Return) to Run program is for those that:

• Are new to running and interested in beginning
• Have ran in the past but has not ran for a few months/years and needs a program that will very gradually progress to avoid injury
• Have tried to run in the past but due to injuries was forced to stop
• Has had a baby recently (or not so recently) and wants to get back into running. We will select stroller friendly routes!

Starting on Tuesday, July 5th we will run an 8-week organized group run. We will meet at 6:00 PM every Tuesday evening at the Russell Park & Ride Parking lot (south of Mother Teresa Catholic School, Concession Street, Russell). An additional group run on Sunday at 8:00 AM will be held if enough interest. Session will run for approximately 45 minutes

Join us for a gentle, safe, and fun training program. Our goal is to work towards running for 20 to 30 minutes through a gradual progression through run and walk breaks. Run/walks are timed so that we start and finish together. Training plan will be provided (released in two-week blocks) that will allow for 3-4 training days. A Facebook group will be created as a place to share information and ask questions (alternatives available for those not on Facebook).

Requirements: a pair of sneakers, a watch/timer, and a desire to improve your overall health and be active. Ideally you must be able to walk 3km/30min easily. If you’re not there yet, but still want to join, let us know. We can tailor the training for you. Open to those 12+ years of age. (please contact us if under 12 years and interested)

Price:
$60.00 (incl HST) for Members
$95.00 (incl. HST) for Non-Members*

*Registration includes Membership to the Russell Run Club.
