June 14 – September 7, 2026

​

Kickoff Run: Sunday, September 7 (details in Heylo)

Goal Race: New Haven 5K (Labor Day)

​

Join us for a 12-week program designed to help new runners build confidence, develop consistency, meet fellow runners, and complete their first 5K.

​

Training will be built around New Haven Road Runners' existing weekly runs, which are generally in the early morning or early evening in and around New Haven, giving participants the opportunity to connect with other runners and become part of the local running community. Whether you've never run before or are looking to get back into running, this program is for you.

​

Participants will also be able to connect through the club chat to find training partners, coordinate additional runs, share progress, ask questions, and support one another throughout the program.

​

Participation requires a Heylo membership ($24/year), which includes:

• Access to the Beginner 5K Program

• Club chat and community access

• Club events throughout the year
