September 5, 2024 and lasting for 8 weeks through October 24, 2024.
The newest class will begin on September 5, 2024 and lasting for 8 weeks through October 24, 2024. The class will be held at the Salisbury PD headquarters on Liberty Street. The class gets underway each Thursday evening at 6 p.m. with a classroom session that covers topics such as a class overview, shoes and equipment, stretching and strengthening, running form, nutrition, injury prevention and safety. A professional in the topic will teach the class each night.
After the classroom session, we will go outside and start running slowly and with walking mixed in. This is a running class, not a class for walkers, and while walking will certainly be allowed, the point is to learn to run. On the first night, we’ll cover a half-mile by running or run/walking. Each class will gradually increase the distance until the 8th class reaches 3.1 miles, a 5K. Additional running, usually three other workouts, will be scheduled on other days of each week.
Graduation will happen after the 8th class following completion of the final night’s 5K run on the certified Greenway, Bare Bones 5K course, starting and finishing at the former Knox Middle School site. Participants must not miss more than two meeting nights to graduate and receive a diploma. This is an adult class but children, 12 and up, can attend when approved on an individual basis ahead of the first class. All participants must be attentive.
