ELM Women Annual 10K Clinic!

'10K training forms the foundation of all-around fitness, because it includes ample amounts of the three core components of running- strength, stamina, speed. When you race a 10-K, you immerse yourself in near-mythical tradition.'

- Runners World

Always wanted to run a 10K? Or do you want to make a serious commitment to a new race time? Joining a running group and following a specific training program are keys to your success.

In this annual women's only 10-k clinic novice runners will start with 4kms and work on building up towards completing (and enjoying!) their first 10K. Intermediate and advanced runners will be provided with a challenging 10-week program tailored to meet their 10K goal. Hills, speed work, pacing, and race strategy will be the focus of the experienced runners program.  Wrap up your clinic with an optional road trip to Victoria for the Times Colonist 10-K race!
