    CHECK OUT OUR TESTIMONIALS:

    " I had felt a need for a change in training as a lot of generic plans just weren’t challenging me enough. Throughout my personalized training cycle, I gained fitness to PR across multiple distances including my PR and BQ in the marathon at the challenging NYC course. The personalized feedback for each workout from Bob kept me honest and consistent and I learned where I excel and where I need work. Bob made sure to explain the reasoning behind workouts so I knew what I was gaining, something that is still helping me today." —Marissa Griffin

    "I used Dave’s Personal Training Program to help achieve my BQ at the Indy Marathon!... I especially enjoyed this plan because it was tailored to my specific needs/preferences and was flexible to my work and school schedule. The Training Tilt platform was super easy to use, and Bob was an awesome coach! His feedback after all my workouts was extremely helpful and encouraging, and he was quick to respond when I had a question or when I needed additional advice." —Torey Loeb

    "I cannot recommend Dave's Personal Training program enough!! Bob tailors the training program to your goals, schedule and fitness level to set you up for success to achieve whatever your goals may be. The training platform is easy to use and very flexible to work with any busy schedule. Dave’s Personal Training Program has led me to huge Personal Bests in the Marathon, Half Marathon, and 5K. Whether you're a seasoned runner or looking to begin your running journey this program is for you!" —Kennedy Pierce

    "I signed up for the Personal Training Program with the goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon with a 5-minute cushion. Bob worked with me to create a customized plan that helped me build on my strengths and work on my weaknesses. The individual feedback on each training run helped keep me accountable while providing the flexibility to make adjustments along the way, and being able to attend group long runs on Saturdays gave me a great way of staying plugged into the running community. I ended up getting my BQ with more than 8 minutes to spare. If you're looking to hit a big goal, whatever it is, the Personal Training Program will help you get there." —Simon Nyi

    11th Annual Hot Cocoa Race sponsored by Sylvania Prevention Alliance

    A great family event that will help chase away the winter blues!

    Our Hot Cocoa 10K/5K/1Mile Race is being held in partnership with Olander Park. The race starts at 9am and there will be multiple corals for a safe start. In addition to the 5K and 10K, we are having a 1 mile race for our elementary age runners.

    The 1 Mile Race or Walk will be the 1 mile loop around Olander Lake. We are offering a 1 mile timed race for kids and a 1 mile timed event for adults. (Whether you race or walk, you will get a time) The 1 mile course will stay in Olander park and go around the beautiful lake.

    The 5K Race will start at the Nederhouser Community Building, run south on the trail, exit out of Olander Park, cross Sylvania Ave into Farmbrook neighborhood, run onto the university parks trail to McCord Rd, head north on McCord to Sylvania Ave to Olander, and then circle the lake to finish in Olander Park at the Neiderhouser. The 10K will follow the same course, but continue onto the University Parks trail, before coming back to the 5K course to finish. The courses are open to traffic and not a closed course. (Maps will be provided online and at packet pick-up)

    Proceeds will go toward our youth programs for promoting positive, healthy lifestyle choices and the prevention of drug, alcohol use and other at-risk behaviors in our community. Sylvania Prevention Alliance provides programs that offer guidance and education and sponsors positive events that develop leadership and team building skills.

    Hot Cocoa and grab and go snacks will be available after the race finish.

    Age group awards will be awarded after the conclusion of the races.

    After February 4th, there will be no shirt guarantee and early bird pricing will end!!!
