  • 101 Jog to Run group
  • 201 Run Stronger group


When does the next one start??

The first session starts on Wednesday January 17, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. We are excited for the new year of improving health and warming days as the spring arrives. We also know how valuable running is to our health, both mental and physical health. The goal is to help you get into running or for some of you to make you a stronger runner. At the end we will have a 5 K run to test ourselves. We would also encourage you all to sign up for the Vancouver Sun Run on April 21, 2024!! More information here!

Who can join the group? You can!

Anyone with an interest in improving their fitness, and learning more about the sport of running, is qualified to join. We offer two distinct programs; one for those just starting out (two pace groups aka Running 001 and 101) and Running 201 for those still new to running who want to continue to improve their speed and strength. The walk/jog program offers a safe and gradual introduction to running. The running program incorporates more technical aspects of running and challenges runners with anaerobic workouts such as fartlek, track intervals, hills and tempo runs. Within the running program, workouts are modified to meet everyone’s ability. You can move up or down a group if things are too easy or not challenging enough.
