Hi there! I’m interested in the new runner’s program. What’s the schedule for the next one? Thanks! -Jessica
Hey Jessica – There is a LOT of interest in the next new runners’ program. Depending on how things go over the winter, we may look at a late spring session for the next one. You can always come out and join us on Saturday mornings! New runners are always welcome!
Do you mean that the next new runners program will start in Spring 2010? I thought I saw somewhere that there’d be one this fall.
Tracey –
We are currently in the last three weeks of a New Runners’ Program Session that started this summer and will culminate with Mebane on the Move on September 5th.
Depending on interest, we are looking at another program beginning in the late winter to prepare for the Dogwood 5K in April.
If this is too long for people to wait, new runners are always welcome at MRC group runs and events…and there are plenty of people to help out a new runner with advise, support and encouragement.
Thanks!
Beginners Runnners Club- I got the impression from the article in the paper that there wasn’t a start date. I was actually planning on attending this evening. Does your response for Jessika mean we should wait? THANKS
Hi Heather –
The program is in the final 3 weeks of a 10 week paid program…so unfortunately we are not accepting new registrations at this time. The group is talking about continuing with a Wednesday night run after the MOTM 5K, so check back on the main page of our website to see if that is posted in our ‘regular events.’
We do want to emphasize that new runners are ALWAYS welcome on our regular Saturday morning and Monday evening runs! So you don’t have to wait to join us for regular running events that are held weekly. There are runners of every ability level at our group runs and who join us for races. And we encourage you to sign up for Mebane on the Move (even if you are walking) and meet some of our runners!
We are looking at another program in the spring so that our volunteer coaches get some much needed time off, as well as to pair the program with a 5K in the Mebane area.
Hope this answers your questions.
Hi,
I am interested in putting my name on the list for the next new runner’s program. Do I need to do an application at this point?
Sarah
Hi Sarah – No application to speak of at this point for the New Runners’ Program as we haven’t yet set a date. Keep an eye on this page or send us an email at mebanerunning@gmail.com to be put on the list. We are looking at a potential spring program depending on interest.
Thanks!
Hi–I am looking into joining the new runners club. So, do I just need to send an email to mebanerunning@gmail.com to be put on the list? Also, are there running sessions on every Monday and Wednesday evenings?
Hi Ashley – We’ve added you to the email list of those interested in the next New Runners’ Program. We just finalized a start date of Wednesday, February 17th. Group runs for new runners will be on Wednesday evenings, with optional group runs on Saturday mornings. More details and an application will be coming to you soon!.
Thanks!
