What is it? A 5k Training Program is designed to help train anyone who has ever wanted to try to run a 5k (3.1 mile) road race. Training starts off slowly and progresses with the goal of running in the Run for Freedom 5k on July 4th in Derry, NH. We educate participants on proper stretching, clothing, running techniques and diet. Many of our participants become active runners, including one who has gone on to run a marathon! This is the only known FREE 5k training program in NH. Complete the program and participate in the Run for Freedom to receive a free t-shirt to wear during the race as well as free membership in the Greater Derry Track Club for the rest of 2024! When is it? This year the program will begin on May 5th at 6:00 p.m. We will meet on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays at 8:30 a.m. Where is it? We will meet at the Windham Depot end of the Windham Rail Trail. Set your GPS to 6 Depot Road, Windham, NH 03087. What is the Run for Freedom 5K? The Greater Derry Track Club beg
