Couch Potato to 5K Runner will be held on Wednesdays at 6:30pm

Thanks Walk, which will be hosted at Mansfield Crossing. The group will meet at Mansfield Crossing's

"This is a terrific program for the novice and the
picturesque setting of Mansfield Crossing makes the training all that more
enjoyable," explained Ms. Carroll.
"The program starts by incorporating longer periods of walking with
shorter periods of running. Each week, participants will do a little more
running and a little less walking – and at the end of 9 weeks,
they’ll be ready to run a 5K."
