RUN/WALK/TRAIN

Running and Walking with KC Express

Ever wondered about those crazy people who get up early to run and walk on Saturday mornings? Try it — you might like it!  Training with a group can be more rewarding and motivating than training alone. Our free Saturday morning run and walk groups offer:

• Step-by-step camaraderie — whether your goal is 5 miles or 26.2
• New scenery — our routes change monthly
• On-course support — water and energy drinks are provided
• Coffee and chat after — we love to support our local bakeries and bagel shops!

Come, get fit (or fitter), and make friends who’ll last a lifetime.

Women’s Training Team

Congratulations to the 200+ women who completed the 2012 Women’s Training Team!

Each year, KC Express partners with Shawnee Mission Medical Center for the Speaking of Women’s Health Training Team. This six-week outdoor series helps women and girls (ages 12+) of all ability levels prepare for the Mother’s Day 5K in a comfortable, supportive, women-only environment.

• Each week you’ll get tips on relevant fitness topics and then join other women for a walk/run.
• KC Express members lead groups of different paces, so you can build your fitness week by week.
• The KC Express pacers also provide encouragement and practical information on the joys and challenges of maintaining a running/walking routine.

Many new walkers and runners join us every year, and many others come back again and again for the fun, support, and fitness.

The Women’s Training Team meets annually for six weeks, beginning in late March/early April. Check back early in 2013 for updates about the program for next year.
