Coach Heidi's 5K Starter Program

Six weeks to the finish line

Coach Heidi's 5K Starter Program takes you from run/walk intervals to the finish line of our Gobble Wobble 5K on Thanksgiving morning. It's built for runners starting out and runners coming back to it. If you can walk for 30 minutes, you can do this.

Three runs a week: one with the group on Thursday, two on your own. Every week has a focus, from consistency to fueling to race-day prep.

You don't need to be fast. You just need to show up.

Questions

Good to know

Can I walk the 5K?

Absolutely. Run it or walk it. Every pace belongs at the Gobble Wobble.

When and where do I pick up my bib?

Wednesday, Nov 25 from 10am–4pm at A Runner's Mind Burlingame (1111 Howard Ave), or race morning starting at 6:30 AM at Coyote Point Park.

Where do I park?

Parking at Coyote Point Park is $6. Exact cash is fastest and most appreciated by the park, but any cash or credit card is accepted, and so are San Mateo County annual park passes. The lot opens at 6:00 AM and closes at 8:00 AM for the race, so arrive early.

Kids ages 8 and under. Parents are welcome to run alongside the youngest Gobblers. Registration is $5, goes straight to our fundraiser, and the dash starts at 9:15 AM, right after the main races.

What's included with registration?

A tech tee, a timed race on a flat bay-front course and a post-race pancake breakfast.

I'm new to running. Can I do this?

Yes! If you can walk for 30 minutes, you can do this. Coach Heidi's 5K Starter Program runs Oct 19 – Nov 26, with a group run every Thursday at 6:30pm at our Burlingame store and two runs a week on your own. Join the program.
