Sister Striders
Join us Saturday mornings from 8:30 - 9:30 am at the Fowler Middle School track for Sister Striders, a women only walking and running group. Whether you are brand new to exercise or are just looking to connect with other women while you continue on your fitness journey, we want to encourage and support you.
This 12 week program will prepare you for a local 5K/10K fun run while enjoying a girls' morning out. Each week we will walk or jog on the track and/or trail and have a short info session on various fitness aspects. We will be able to break into groups depending on your level of fitness and speed. Our pledge is that no one is left behind!
