HARRA’s Power In Motion Set To Start Its 9th Year
"Want to learn to run?"
"Want to learn techniques in a group setting to help you run faster?”
"Not quite ready to train for January’s Chevron Houston Marathon?"
The answer to each of these questions is the adult training program of the Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA), Power In Motion.
Power In Motion, known affectionately to its former participants as “PIM”, is a 10-week, 5k running clinic for beginning, intermediate, and experienced runners. It offers guidance, support, encouragement, and training tips for individuals wishing to improve their running ability in a fun, friendly and supportive environment.
Co-directed by veteran runners Jack McClintic and Tom Radosevich, Power In Motion begins its ninth year as the city’s longest-running and leading short distance training program.
“I feel very strongly about PIM,” said McClintic, who took over as co-director last spring. “It represents to me the chance for us to encourage our family, friends and colleagues to give running a try in a fun and easy format.”
Held on Wednesday evenings in front of St. Theresa’s Church in Memorial Park, Power In Motion begins on September 13th,, culminates on November 15th and encourages participants to run – many for their first race ever -- in the Feliz 5K Run for Shriners Hospitals for Children on Saturday, November 11th.
Participants receive a Power In Motion singlet and a SMART ID shoe tag as well as weekly speakers, running schedules and tips from stretching and flexibility to finding the right running gear and apparel.
The cost for the 10-week program is $39 for those who pre-register online at the program’s official web site at http://www.powerinmotion.org/.
