About
Great news; we're bringing back the beginning runner program this spring! Running can be a great workout and running with the Badgerland Striders is a social way to run. Join us as you start (or restart) your running journey. This year's program includes entry in the Superun 5k on June 4th along with one Bratwurst sandwich, other snacks and beverages. Additional brats may be purchased on site. You will also receive the Superun 5k apparel that is included with registration as well as a Badgerland Strider Singlet for participating in the program.
The Stride to 5k Program kicks off on Thursday, April 10th at 6:30pm. We will meet weekly on Thursday evenings at the Hales Corners Library in the lower level Ben Hunt Room and conclude on Thursday May 29th. Each meeting will feature a group run and a discussion with established runners, physical therapists, personal trainers, and other running related topics. The group runs will be split into multiple groups based on pace and led by experienced runners. We will use a run/walk approach to build up your distance. The plan will have one weekly group run and two runs for you to complete on your own.
The goal of the program is to give you the confidence to complete a 5K distance and enjoy the experience. Graduation from the program will be held on Wednesday June 4th at the Badgerland Strider Superun 5k held at Lake Park.
