Calling all ladies—walkers and runners!! This training specifically targets the BRRC Women’s Distance Festival 5k race on Sunday, July 21, 2019. The theme for this year’s race is Christmas in July. So as you train, put together your best costume for race day to compete for a prize! Hop on board, train for this 5k and perhaps continue training with BRRC in the fall for other upcoming races! We will have fun on the run! Sorry fellas, this training is for women only, as the target race is for women only. But we welcome men to volunteer!
Goals and Purposes:
This program is best suited for
- Ladies who want to train to participate in the Women’s Distance Festival on Sunday, July 21, 2019

- Ladies who have completed a 5k but may want to improve their time
- Ladies who are returning from a hiatus due to injury or other reasons but want a structured training program
