START is a FREE, welcoming 5K and 10K training program for beginning to novice runners.  START 5K is geared for people new to running or getting back into the routine after some time off, looking for a structured, fun and friendly entry into fitness. The program starts slowly, gradually working our way to the goal of continuously running a 5k.
