This free eight-week Learn to Run program, which starts the week of January 29, will provide participants the opportunity to train with Danie Marais, a fourth-year kinesiology student who will encourage them throughout their running journey and provide a running program, warm-up and cool-down stretches, and other helpful information. The beginner group is on Wednesdays at 12:10 pm, and the intermediate/advanced group is on Mondays at 4:30 pm. Participants can attend either or both training times regardless if they are beginners, intermediate, or advanced.

The program is for UPEI students, staff, faculty, and retirees only. Participants will submit weekly kilometres for weekly draw prizes. More information will follow once participants have registered.
