No Boundaries 2011!

This March, Fleet Feet and New Balance will team up again for the 4th edition of the popular "No Boundaries" training program.

 

No Boundaries is a beginner runner training program that helps you adopt a fitness lifestyle by training you to run your first 5K.

   

This year our inaugural run will be March 26th and we will train you for the Reach Foundation 5K, our target race, on June 12th. There will be an info night this Wednesday, March 9th at Fleet Feet at 7:00PM We'll answer any questions you have, let you meet the coaches, and fill you in on the mother/daughter session as well as other options for days to take part in the program.

   

Check out our web page for more facts on this fun filled program and learn how you too can run a 5k!

   

There's also an article written last year by myBergen.com that features one of our No Boundaries "graduates" that I'm sure you'll enjoy!
