“Walk to Run” with BAPA & Running Excels
If you thought running a 5K was out of reach, here’s an idea to try. BAPA and Running Excels have joined forces to create the Official Ridge Run 5K Walk to Run Program. It includes guided training, support, and group runs for beginners who are interested in becoming stronger and more confident runners.
