The Next Step Columbia Classic 10K Program is for runners of varying abilities. Participants will do a 3 Mile time trial on July 30 so coordinators can group participants with those of similar abilities.

Weekly training runs will involve a variety of running techniques including speed work and hill work to improve running performance

All runners should be able to run 3 miles before starting the program.
