Get Ready To Run

Presented by our great friends at Hartford Healthcare! This “no-drop” training program is made to encourage local friends to get up and move!  Let us help you reach your goal of completing a 5K (3.1 miles). Through this program, we are here to offer you group support, motivation and fun along the way! Not only will you complete your goal, but you also will meet some fantastic running partners in the GRR family. You can do this and we’re here to help!
