Discover the power of movement! In No Boundaries, you will find a community to cheer for you, challenge you, and help you reach your goals. Learn how to build a fitness-oriented lifestyle through walking and run/walking. We aim to help participants move more comfortably and perform better at every stage of their walking or running journey.
No Boundaries 5K: Learn to run, run/walk, or re-enter the sport. Training plans focus on incremental increases in run or walk time. All levels of runners and run/walkers are welcome!
No Boundaries 5K - Intermediate: For those who have successfully completed a 5K, want to improve their time, and/or are ready to continue building their endurance, strength, and fitness. Training plans focus on incremental time and mileage increases and incorporate more running/walking volume throughout the week. This plan is also appropriate for those targeting a 10K this summer.
