Half Marathon running clinic starts June 1

If you can run or walk just five miles by June 1 then you can compete in the News and Sentinel Half Marathon on August 22.

The 17th annual River City Runners and Walkers Half Marathon Clinics will  start on June 1, with a five mile training loop and building up to the 13.1-mile distance over a period of 12 weeks. The River City Runners and Walkers Club will supply water and sports drinks at two or two and half mile intervals  along the course for anyone who wants to participate in training for The  Parkersburg News and Sentinel Half Marathon.  Everyone is welcome to  participate. Club membership is not necessary.  Train with others at your  pace, however fast (or not so fast), make friends, and get in shape for  Parkersburg’s biggest sporting event.

RUNNERS AND WALKERS WILL START AT 5:30 p.m.
