Clinics

Throughout the year we hold clinics to help you learn to run or meet your running goals. We try to schedule our clinics to end in conjunction with a local race to let you test your new skills. There is a cost to the clinics. We bring in experienced coaches. You will be provided with a training program, and a technical running shirt. We have a great partner in these clinics in ZONE SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY. They arrange the guest speakers for the clinics which include a nutritionist, a massage therapist and, you guessed it - physiotherapists who will impart knowledge to make running fun and safe for a lifetime.  Recently we've added a presentation on Yoga for runners led by instructors from Inner Peace Yoga .

A couple of years ago we moved our clinics from our basement to the upper level of the building where we created a beautiful new space to hold clinics and special events.  From there we head to the Meewasin Valley running trails a mere block and half from the store for our workouts.

 This festive group were from the 2010 Clinic coached by Brandi Pozniak for the Arthritis Society's Jingle Bell Run.  Our clinic participants often sign up for another clinic to continue training in a fun, positive atmosphere.  Why not join us?

Note to All Participants

Running is a strenuous activity and as such all participants should have had a physical within the last year.  If you have not been physically active or have health concerns you should discuss participation in a running program with your physician.

We reserve the right to cancel clinics if there is insufficient interest.  Full fees would be reimbursed if clinic is cancelled.
