Endurance Training
By popular request, Coach Alexa will be offering a six-week, endurance base-building program for runners. This group is designed to help you transition safely into summer and fall half-marathon/marathon training, and, if you are newer to distance running, to help you safely increase your mileage.

Saturdays, May 12th to June 16 at Route 16 & Point Defiance

Fall Half Marathon/Marathon Training
Whether you're training for your first race or a hoping to break a sub-three-hour marathon pace we know you'll love the benefits of running with this fun, supportive, and informative group. Our number one goal is to teach you how to train right so you can run for life. You provide the perspiration, we'll provide the inspiration... along with group runs, training schedules, water stops, coaching expertise, pep talks, hugs, and more. Target races include the Race For A Soldier Half Marathon, the You Go Girl! Half Marathon, and Leavenworth/Portland/Victoria half marathons & marathons.

Saturdays, June 23 - Oct. 1
Please join us for an informational breakfast at 8 am on June 23rd

The Friendliest 5K Class
This fun and friendly class is perfect for beginner/novice runners and those runners needing to learn the basics of training right to avoid hitting a wall of injury, frustration, and fatigue. We will focus on the building blocks of running such as core-conditioning, stretching, injury prevention, nutrition, hydration, and of course, running and run/walking. This class will change you outside and inside in the best of ways!

Where: Route 16 and trails around Gig Harbor.

Core With Kris
You wouldn't build a house without laying a solid foundation first; so it is with core conditioning. Please join Route 16 staffer and core guru Kris Tebb for a fantastic yet gentle workout that will build strength, restore symmetry, improve posture, and relieve back pain (and you might just lose a few jean sizes to boot!). Whether you're just of the couch, side-lined with injury, or looking for a new PR this class will boost your strength, improve your speed, and help you to run and walk injury free! Kris has worked with local physical therapists to design this class. Please bring a mat.

Where: Route 16
When: Ongoing.
Mondays at 9:15 am
Wednesdays at 9:15 am

Please contact Kris if interested in a 8 am class on Monday or Thursdays at route16events@yahoo.com
