Beginning Runners Group 2014

It's that time of the year again, when we invite a invite aspiring runners to try the "Couch to 5k Program"!

Please see below for details. Also posted is the race flier for the Ebensburg Homecoming 5k. You can find a PDF here.

In addition to the group for new runners, we are intending to start an "intermediate" group. This will be for people who have been running consistently or are comfortable at the 5k distance and want to try a new challenge. So perhaps the Altoona 15k is a goal, or the Great Race in Pittsburgh. Or maybe you're eyeing up something longer, like the Buffalo Creek Half-Marathon.

OK, so here are the details... PLEASE share far and wide with anyone who you think might be interested.
