Spring 2012 Running and Walking Programs
Spring is here and it's time to shake off the winter blues! go!pei is offering a variety of community programs this spring to help you reach your activity and healthy eating goals. Our programs are for everyone, and we encourage Islanders of all ages, activity levels and abilities to take part.
A number of our community partners are holding their running and walking programs on the same day and time to encourage residents of all ages and abilities to take part in a program together.

Learn 2 Run 5K Overview: L2R is a progressive 10-week walk-to-run program designed for beginner runners. The group will meet once per week with a leader, who will guide the group through their program, and offer running tips. Participants will follow the program three times per week, and will be given a program to follow at home. This is go!pei’s most popular program with over 1,100 Islanders participating to date. This program is for those who currently walk regularly (150 minutes per week) and want to take their activity to the next level.
Learn 2 Run 10K Overview: L2R 10K is for Learn 2 Run 5K graduates and those who would like to increase their running endurance. This is a 10-week program that will gradually build up to a 10K distance. A leader will guide the group once per week, and participants will receive a program to follow at home. This program is for those who can already run 5K or 25 minutes.
Walking Program Overview: All go!pei walking programs are for Islanders of all ages, ability levels and activity levels and are meant to offer a fun opportunity to walk with a group. There will be a leader guiding programs every week, and walking programs will be available for those who would like to learn to walk longer distances. We encourage everyone to walk at their own pace.
