Walk to Run

The Melrose Running Club Walk To Run Program is a 10-week program for individuals interested in becoming beginner runners. The Walk To Run series runs from late April through June, meeting at the Melrose Knights of Columbus at 23 West Foster Street on Tuesday nights. Participants should arrive by 6:45 PM, as the sessions begin promptly at 7 PM. The group will meet each Tuesday night for an organized workout and be expected to repeat that week’s routine on their own a few times during the week.
The program began back in 2000, modeled after several nationally developed programs, and is designed to develop a beginner runner capable of running continuously for 30 minutes. Information on running, shoe selection, stretching, and nutrition will be provided by members of the Melrose Running Club.
Program applicants should be in good physical health (consult your physician before starting this exercise program), be able to walk continuously for 30 minutes (prepare your legs with at least 8 days of walking, 20 minutes for the first four days and 30 minutes for the last four days), and have a strong desire to learn how to run.
The fee to participate in this 10-week program is $30.00 per individual. This includes an individual membership to the Melrose Running Club for the rest of the calendar year! Sign-up online at Melrose Running Club Membership Application and check the “WALK TO RUN” box.
