A new learn-to-run 5K program that Fleet Feet Decatur is Kicking Off.


Kim from Fleet Feet sends this in.
I wanted to let you know about a new learn-to-run 5K program that Fleet Feet Decatur is kicking off this month. We'll be taking all levels of runners and walkers and helping them train for the Virginia Highlands 5K in June. I thought this information might be of interest to your readers.

Thanks Kim.
