The Washington RunHers Unlimited is a women's running club that promotes women's running in the Washington, D.C., metro area. We are starting a 12-week walking and running program entitled "Beginning Fitness Program" for women of all ages wishing to start a fitness routine. The program runs from April 17 through July 17, 2004, on Saturdays at 8:00 a.m. for an hour and a half at Wakefield Recreation Center in Annandale, Virginia. This program will guide the participants from a walk-run beginning to a 40 minute nonstop run. The goal will be for all that finish the program to be able to complete a major 5K (3.1 miles) race in the D.C. metropolitan area. The program will cover finding the right shoes, injury prevention, cross-training, safety, proper technique and more. The Beginning Fitness Program costs $77.00 which includes membership to the Washington RunHers. If you are a member of the Washington RunHers Unlimited, the cost is $60.00.
