The Washington RunHers is hosting a free information meeting on their women's track program on Thursday, May 4th at 7pm at the Arlington Central Library. Come learn about this unique track program that is open to female runners of all abilities who are running regularly and want to improve their running form, speed and fitness. Attendees will meet the coaches, Al Logie and John Rusinko, and learn about their shared coaching philosophy and what can be achieved by running track. It will also be a great opportunity to talk to returning participants and get their first hand views on this fun but challenging program. The meeting will be informal and there will be plenty of time to ask questions. Refreshments will be served plus there will be drawings for door prizes.
