Join our Fleet Feet Huntsville-Madison Mentor Team!

Mentors play an important role in ensuring a great experience for our training program participants.  Do you have what it takes to be a Fleet Feet Sports Mentor? We are currently looking for run and run/walk mentors for our ongoing training groups ranging from 5K to the marathon.

The Fleet Feet Sports Mentor Team is a passionate group of walk and run mentors who help people reach their goals of walking and running.

• promoting safety and providing support during workouts
• keeping an assigned approximate pace or interval while walking or running

• Willing to be a Fleet Feet Huntsville-Madison store ambassador
