A free kick-off clinic and a training run and walk will be held Saturday, Jan. 26 at St. Francis Hospital-Indianapolis, 8111 S. Emerson Ave. The clinic will be held in the hospital’s main entrance and cafeteria.
The event gets under way at 8 a.m. with a sign-in and welcome. It will be followed by a nutrition workshop for runners and walkers presented by St. Francis exercise physiologist Kim Modglin.
Staff from St. Francis Sports Medicine, and experts KLA from Athletic Annex, Gray Goat Sports, The Runners Forum and The Running Company will discuss:
What’s your foot type?
How your feet contribute to injuries during training
Orthotics – What they really do, the difference between custom-made and over-the-counter and who really needs orthotics
What is the “correct” shoe for you?
What’s new in 2008
Following the workshops, the prospective Mini Marathon participants will take to the streets for a “Run & Walk,” from 30 minutes up to 4 miles.
Registration for the clinic and training event is strongly encouraged. To do so, contact Ken Long & Associates at 317-884-4001, or at klong@kenlongassoc.com.
