NEW Member Benefit
*****New Member Pilot Program*****
Due to continuing COVID-19 concerns and Forest Park/ Board of Health restrictions, the Clinic Committee and Board decided that we were not able to have an in-person Spring 2021 Walk-Run Clinic. We came up with alternative idea though!
As a part of becoming a new member of PVWRC, if you are interested (and based on availability), you will be matched up with a volunteer mentor who will commit to 8 weeks as your running buddy. You can run, run/walk, walk only- whatever you are looking for to get into or back into running. You and your mentor can set up actual times to meet to run or virtual opportunities to connect. Ideally you will be matched up with someone in close proximity to where you live/work or who could meet you at a convenient time and place.
If you are interested in being paired up with a mentor in the pilot program, please email us at pvwrc1@gmail.com after you sign up for an annual membership and let us know.
