Our 2011 “Thanksgiving Day Race” Training Program begins Saturday, September 10^th at 8:00 am at the Running Spot in O’Bryonville.

Open to runners, run-walkers and walkers of all levels, this program meets twice weekly – Saturday at 8:00 am & Tuesdays at 6:30 pm - and goes through Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 24^th.

Our primary meeting locations will be the Running Spots in O’Bryonville, Newport & Loveland, along with Newport-On-The-Levee, and Lunken Airport.

We will provide a month-by-month training schedule through to race-date. If you are unable to make a workout, the schedule helps you keep pace with what the group is doing. Group workouts will involve a blend of speed-training & distance-training, designed to get you ready for the 6.2 mile Thanksgiving Day course. Being in town for the Thanksgiving Day Race is not mandatory to take part in the program. We have a fair number who train with us, but can’t do the race on that day.

We offer various levels of training ranging from walking, run-walking, running and racing – as the program is open to novice and experienced runners/walkers alike. To assist in your training, we will have a 18-person coaching staff to help prepare you for the race and hopefully teach you a few new things along the way.

Cost is $80 and you can register online at www.runningspot.com or at any one of our Running Spot locations.

Program Perks – Each participant will receive range from a 10% store discount at all of our Running Spot locations throughout the training program, a Running Spot technical race shirt, a pair of technical running socks, FREE ENTRY into a local 5K race, and a Unique Program Perk.

ENTRY into the Thanksgiving Day Race is NOT INCLUDED.

7:30 pm at the Running Spot in O’Bryonville
