2023 Community Run Season
Community Track looks a little different this year. Introducing CommRun! Beginning Thursday, May 25 at 5:30pm, join us for an evening workout at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. We will incorporate some of the flat running workouts you know and love from CommTrack, but we are excited to add in a wider variety of workouts that will take place in and around the Center.
Cost: $5 per session
Important note: You need to register for practice online ahead of time.
What
Join us for a weekly interval workout Thursday nights at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center! These workouts can be a fun and motivating way to begin an individual running routine, learn more about training, and boost aerobic capacity. From a fitness standpoint, incorporating workouts of varied speeds and efforts into an individual's weekly exercise program elicits much more substantial physical gains than running or walking 30 minutes at the same rate every day. Our workouts are a measurable way of achieving varied exertion, with the added benefits of learning one's own individual paces, increasing one's body awareness, and tracking one's progress over time.
When & Where
Community Running Practice takes places Thursdays at 5:30pm at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center.
Who
This program is a community outlet for ALL to invest in personal wellness and to celebrate the simple joy of feeling strong in our bodies. Community Running Practice encourages walking and running alike, emphasizing not speed but rather the shared effort of getting out and moving. We are hoping for this workout to serve as a communal venue for exercisers of all speeds to join in camaraderie and support each other throughout practice. The beautiful thing about running is that no matter your speed or the distance you cover, you will always be surrounded by fellow group members; the fastest runner can cheer-on others as they run by, just as slower runners can offer encouragement in return.
The mission of the Craftsbury Running Program at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center is to support and foster a community of runners and walkers in the Northeast Kingdom. Our primary focus is to provide opportunities for people of all experience and abilities to get outside, be active, and engage in regular exercise in a communal group setting. Establishing a long-term, sustainable routine in any sport requires external support, knowledge, and resources. Craftsbury Running seeks to fill that role for the greater Craftsbury community. So, come out and give Community Running practice a try!
