The Decatur Running Club is offering a Beginning Running Program starting Tuesday April 14th. This is a FREE organized 8-week program targeting new (or returning after a long break) runners. DRC mentors can teach new runners how to build safely and slowly, and can outline a goal, such as finishing a 5K.

The program will meet on Tuesday evenings at Fairview Park, Thursday evenings at Nelson Park, and Saturday mornings at Rock Springs Conservation Area. You do not have to attend every run, but we encourage you to try to do two a week. A Facebook group page will be the primary means of communication throughout the program, with reminders of location, what to expect, and what to bring, for example, water bottle, cooling towel, etc.

Graduation race will be the Rock Springs Ramble on June 6th at the Rock Springs Conservation Area located at 3939 Nearing Ln Decatur.

Run 2 Ramble participants who complete two thirds of the program will receive a $5 race registration discount to run the Rock Springs Ramble. Each graduate will receive a finisher medal, hand painted rock, T-shirt (option to purchase), recognition for completing the 5K program and post party food and beverages. Age group awards are given in 5 year increments up to 75 years of age.
