About the Beginner Running
This is a coached beginner training program, not a standalone race. Small groups meet twice a week with three named coaches, starting with walk-run intervals and building toward a local short-distance race. A follow-on session continues the training toward a longer race for those who want to keep going. Run Wild Missoula membership is required to participate.
