Winter No Boundaries (Couch to 5k) - 2025

No Boundaries ("Nobo's) is our incredibly popular training program for beginner runners.  Thousands of runners have taken part in our No Boundaries programs over the year.  We have had people start with No Boundaries and then graduate to our 10K and then half marathon teams. We have even had a few people go all the way to the marathon or beyond, and you can too!  No Boundaries is designed so that you will build mileage with a mix of walking and running gradually and after 9 weeks of training with your dedicated coaches, you will be able to run a complete 5K. You will have the camaraderie of others just like you.  Get ready to be with a highly social and supportive team! 

Program Informational Meeting and Fun Walk:  Saturday, January 4th at 7:30AM at Fleet Feet Chico. At the kickoff we will meet the coach and get information about the program. Bring a friend! We will go out on a fun walk so you can get in a workout and see how the programs are structured.  Please note that this is an extremely popular program, and that space is limited, so register early!

Meeting times:  Weekly coached workouts will be on Wednesdays at 6:15 PM and Saturdays 7:30 AM at various locations around Chico.  The first workout will be held on Saturday, January 4th at 7:30am. The location for each run will be announced via email by your coaches!
