It's time for a new year and new goals! Spring 2026 training programs are OPEN!
STARTER PACK 5K: BEGINS JANUARY 12TH
Red Coyote’s Starter Pack 5K Program will begin on January 12th and is designed to help you train for the Lucky Coyote 5K on March 15th but can be used to train for any spring 5K. All abilities 18 and older are welcome! Whether you're a runner/walker attempting your first 5K or you're shooting for a new PR, there's a place for you. In our Red Coyote program, we think sharing the training journey with friends working to achieve a common goal is the best part and makes every run more fun.
This program is designed for people who have never run before or who have not run recently. We'll help you achieve your goal safely by a gradual and strategic increase in your training mileage. We start with very gentle workouts combining walking and running and give your body plenty of time to adapt to running over the 9 weeks of the program as we build to the goal of running a 5K/3.1 mile distance. We give instruction on proper hydration, nutrition, injury prevention, running form, training principles, as well as other areas to help you have a successful race!
Always wanted to be a runner, but not sure how or where to start? Red Coyote has trained over 3,500 participants to run their first 5K! We have the experience and the knowledge to help you reach your goals!

Whether you're attempting your first distance run or shooting for a new PR, there is a place for you in our Pack and all abilities are welcome!
We'll help you achieve your goal safely by a gradual and strategic increase in training mileage. There will be informative clinics and guest speakers to give advice and instruction on proper hydration, nutrition, injury prevention, running form, training principles, and many other areas to help you have a successful race.
