Train for Bloomsday!
Are you ready?Join family, friends and neighbors to get in shape for Bloomsday! Whether you plan to walk, jog or run in this year's Bloomsday race, our free clinics will provide you with a medically-sound, gradual conditioning and training program.
Each clinic starts at 8:30 a.m. and features expert information, a warm-up routine and a training course especially designed to maximize your preparation (routes start at one mile and increase one mile per week).
Medical assistance is available during training, water stations are placed along the routes and on-site volunteers will be there to help until the last person finishes.
The Providence | Group Health Training Clinics are presented by Providence Sacred Heart and Holy Family hospitals, and Group Health Cooperative.
Please note: Registering for the Training Clinics does not register you for the Bloomsday race. Race registration forms will be available at the clinics each week, or you can register online at www.BloomsdayRun.org. Bloomsday is a registered trademark of the Lilac Bloomsday Association.
