Cost of 10K Training is $125 and that includes 14 weeks of workouts (two times a week), newsletters, access to Coaches who can answer questions, a Fleet Feet Running Club t-shirt, and more! And new this year, all 2018 Fleet Feet Running Club members can earn a uniquely designed program badge. Earn a different one as you finish each program, and showcase your collection on our brand new duffel bag, available for purchase later this spring.

Who is 10K Training for?

Anyone who is already able to run a 5K and wants to add distance to their training. The 14 week 10K Training program starts at 3 miles (so you must be able to already walk 3 miles comfortably) and builds up to 6 miles. We have multiple pace groups for the 10K Training program, including 10-11, 11-12, 12-13, run/walk intervals (run 2 minutes, walk 1 minute) and walk. Thursday night workouts have a speed/hill/core option for those runners looking to increase their speed and strength. Saturday mornings are long runs.  We do require that all 10K Training participants be 18 or older.

When and where do workouts take place?

Thursday evening workouts start at 6PM and Saturday morning workouts start at 7:30AM at Reserve Avenue Fields North, across the street from Carilion Clinic 3 Riverside.

Anyone is welcome to TEST DRIVE a 10K Training workout for FREE the first week of the session before signing up. Please check-in at the Fleet Feet Sports tent when you arrive.
