Hello UVRC!

Our last 10-week session for Couch to 5k wrapped up in June and we’re gearing up to start again in August. We’re usually a group of 40 or so participants (all ages 18+) and 5-6 coaches. However, with the departure of RJ and the busy lives of the rest of us, we’re down a few coaches this session, and we need your help! Will you join us as a volunteer coach? (No formal coaching experience required.)

Usually, this entails you coming to practice 2x/week for 10 weeks and helping out wherever you’re needed with coaching. We break into four “pace” groups and like to have at least one coach with each group. Practices are Thursdays from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 8-9 a.m. We ask that you commit to attend at least 50% of the practices.

Perks – awesome community, sense of accomplishment, grateful participants, and a free 5k at the end of the session. If you’re interested in helping out, please think about it and reach out to me with any questions. It’s a very fun way to be involved and make a difference!
