1. Who are the coaches?
There is a mix of triathlon coaches, personal trainers, and experienced runners.  All of our coaches receive training so that they fully understand the information and techniques that are used during our club runs.  Within the pace groups, participants are invited to step forward to lead in terms of navigation and controlling walking breaks.
 
2. Do the coaches and leaders make big money from teaching the courses?
We are all volunteers.  We get rich from all the gratification!
 
3. I'm brand new to running.  When I do jog I go very slow.  Is your club for me?
Yes!  We will help you learn the proper technique that will increase your running comfort and keep you injury free.  Our club caters to all levels and paces.  Rest assured, there are a lot more 'patient' runners out there than there are thoroughbreds!
 
4. Can I meet with you to ask some questions?
Email makes everything so easy!  We are all volunteers with day jobs but we will be very happy to answer any questions not covered by our website.
 
5. Is running an expensive sport?
No, not at all!  They were running races long before technical socks and spandex!  While appropriate footwear is important, it doesn't have to be expensive.  Running accessories like jackets, hats etc can make the sport more comfortable but they aren't mandatory by any means.  We'll show you all the available equipment and explain to you the features, benefits and costs,  then you can decide.  Our friends at Bushtukah have everything you might decide to purchase. 
 
6. Please explain your charity link?
The goal of the club is help build community, not make money. For that reason, the club is fully volunteer-run and all proceeds from the registration fees will go to Sole Responsibility.
 
7. Can I email you? I have a question.
Since we're all volunteers we want to avoid excess time on email.  Please carefully read all pages of the website before emailing us.
