Running Training

Family Fit Training

4 weeks 6:30-7:30 p.m. Mondays 6/10, 6/17, 6/24, 7/1
Behind the Riverfront Community Center 300 Welles St, Glastonbury
$25 per family or $15 for an individual

The whole family can participate in our unique fitness and running training group. Each session includes a warm up, running instruction, running (!) or walk/running for newbies, basic exercises and a cool down. Build endurance and strength while learning the fundamentals of running in a fun and friendly environment. For more advanced runners, this is a great opportunity to get some speed work in while the kids play games, run relays and are entertained by our coaches. All abilities are welcome!

For those who need a goal race to keep them training,  The Rentchler Airfield 5K on Thursday, 7/11 at 6PM would be a great goal for the whole family. (Please register separately for the race.)

Heavy rain or lightening cancels!

HMF Trail Running Group New!

Meets on Sundays, 8:00 a.m.
$40 yearly membership.  Enrollment is always open.

Think all running is the same? Think again. Running in the woods provides less impact on your body and is slower paced than road running and there’s no traffic! Our goal is to have a low-key, fun and social group. After a few coach led runs, it’s our hope that the group will meet on its own, with support from HMF. We encourage members to host a run or two. Some running experience is needed.

Run Locations:

• 4/21*, 4/28, 5/5, 5/19, 5/26, 6/2  J.B. Williams Park, 705 Neipsic Road, Glastonbury http://www.glasct.org/index.aspx?page=205 Nice wide, beginner trails.
• 6/9*, 6/23, 6/30, 7/21* (makeup clinic for 5/12) Case Mountain, Line Street, Manchester http://recreation.townofmanchester.org/CaseMountain.cfm

*Indicates clinic dates. These are free to members of HMF Trail Runners or $15 each for non-members. Led by experienced trail running coaches. Learn about techniques and form - including uphill, downhill & mud running, gear, etiquette, safety and basic first aid.

Membership includes:

• Access to the HMF Training Facebook page with printable trail routes, articles and discussion/meet up area
• 3 free Trail Running Clinics

7 - 8 week sessions offered throughout the year
$60 each (Price includes entry to HMF 5K – a $25 value!) except where noted.

Lose weight, reduce stress, and get fit! Our beginner-intermediate programs are designed for people who are brand new or returning to running after a hiatus. For beginners, you will start by walking 3 minutes, running 1 minute. By the end of the 8 weeks, we will have you running for at least 30 minutes. No experience necessary! Our average coach to runner ratio is 1:7.
