PGRC Early Bird 5k Training (Spring 2026)

Gear up for the Early Bird 5K program—the ultimate jumpstart for your active lifestyle! Whether you're a seasoned walker or a fresh-on-your-feet runner, this 12-week base-building program is your ticket to crossing the 5K finish line with confidence. Led by RRCA-certified running coaches, you'll ignite a spark of endurance with three weekly sessions that blend pacing, intervals, endurance, and hill training.

Kicking off on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the Herbert Wells Ice Rink, our journey will unfold with camaraderie, expert guidance, and a schedule that accommodates your busy life. As we prepare for the DCRCC Women's Distance Festival/Men's Run or Howard County Striders event, remember that this is more than a training program—it's a pledge to your health, requiring only your determination and a PGRC club membership to get started. Lace up your running shoes, grab your water bottle, and let's pave the path to your 5K triumph together!
