Coach Carmen is setting up a 500m loop along a bike path. Walk for the entire hour, or any portion. Ten laps is 5k, so use this opportunity to test your own speed. There will be a green bucket along the course. You are encouraged to drop a donation each time you get lapped. The money will go to Katie to support her training and travel as she works towards a berth on the 2020 US Olympic Team.
The start time is 8 a.m. If you finish early, please stick around. Katie will do a brief Q&A and take photos with you once the hour workout is completed. Contact us with questions.
