The YMCA of Canberra Runners Club (YCRC) is conducting this training group to enable participants to complete 5K either walking or jogging. While the main focus is on women for this event, so that they can complete the Women and Girls' Fun Run on 6 March, men are most welcome to take part and they will be encouraged to complete regular events of the YCRC.
The program will start on 19 January 2016 and finish with a celebratory recovery run on the Tuesday after the Fun Run. Group training will take place on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings at the entrance to Weston Park, Yarralumla. Training will start promptly at 0630 on week days and 0730 on Sundays. Members will also be encouraged to participate in the YMCA of Canberra Runners Club events when they are unable to attend the usual training sessions. Any additional training suggested will need to be undertaken by participants in their own time.
The full program for the Group will be available at the first run scheduled for 0630 on Tuesday19 January.
Experienced runners will walk/jog with participants at each group session.
