Pursuit 5K Training Program by The Sneaker Store 2025

Short review

Start Date: February 23 ---- End Date: Erie Canal 5K Race Day: May 18th

Our 5K training program is designed for people who have never run before, runners coming back from injury, or casual runners that want to learn how  to run more efficiently. We build from a run/walk and help you tackle a 5K. 

When you sign up for this 12-week program, you’re making an investment in yourself, and you’ll benefit from…

12-week written training plan, designed by our coaches to take you from walking and run/walking intervals through the finish line of your first 5K. The plan is designed to have you run/walking five days a week, and one of those days is our group run (Sundays) that is just for Pursuit, with an additional opportunity for you to join our open Wednesday evening run group at The Sneaker Store. Accountability is everything (and we think it makes it more fun too!) so we encourage you to join us whenever you can.Coaching by our RRCA certified coaching staff.Weekly Sunday morning group run (run/walk) led by our coaching staff and volunteers. We meet at The Sneaker Store at 9:00, start with some stretching, run together, then enjoy some complimentary snacks and coffee.Brief weekly sessions to follow our group runs (during snacks & coffee) that cover topics from proper footwear and attire, to nutrition, injury prevention, stretch and strengthening guidance, and more!
