CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The City of Clarksville Parks and Recreation has teamed up with Healthy Clarksville to offer a new walking and running program, R.U.N., designed to help you along the road of self-discovery and fitness.

This 16-week training program is structured to help beginners cross the finish line of your first 5K at Queen City Road Race on May 6 (which is optional) and to help more advanced runners beat your previous personal records and set new goals for yourself. All levels of walkers and runners are welcome. Along the way, we’ll provide you with motivation to keep you moving, guidance and advice, three weekly group training runs or walks, and educational clinics on topics such as proper nutrition, choosing the right gear and avoiding injury. Plus, you’ll have the camaraderie of others just like you.

R.U.N. kicks off Monday, Jan. 16 and runs through Tuesday, May 9. Sessions are held Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the Crow Recreation Center. Registration is underway and the deadline to register, Monday, Jan. 9, is quickly approaching. Cost is only $60 to participate. Register online now at www.CityofClarksville.com/ParksRec.
