Ramble Run offers 12-week “Couch to 5K “ Beginners Running ‘Program
The Beginning Runners Program (BRP) is one of ATC’s most important community outreach efforts. This year ATC offers a new BRP session to train runners for the 2nd annual Ramble Run 5K at Biltmore Park, sponsored by Mission Sports Medicine, and open to the public in addition to Mission Health System staff. The BRP starts February 21 and continues Tuesdays and Thursdays (6 to 6:30 p.m.) and Saturdays (10 a.m.) until The Ramble 5K on May 12. The group will meet at the new Sherrill Center on the UNCA campus and will use the UNCA track or inside track when it rains
The Beginning Runners Program is a 12-week program for those who’ve never run before, from preteens to senior citizens. This “Couch to 5K” running program is also suitable for anyone who wishes to return to running following an injury or time away from the sport. The goal for BRP participants is to show to begin and enjoy running for health and fitness. Cost is $25. Contact Head Coach Tom Kingsbury at 665-7526 or, email burytom@charter.net
In May, ATC will offer its spring Beginning Runners Program to train for the Bele Chere 5K. Visit the ATC website for more details, including the 12-week schedule, and how to register:www.AshevilleTrackClub.org.
