*please note: should you start the clinic and your base fitness is less than the requirement, you will have the following options:
1. continue training on Wednesdays with the group (as these are individual efforts and you work as hard as you want and go at your own pace), use the prescribed long run schedule for motivation to complete the long runs on your own and join the group for the non-leader lead runs where there are prescribed long run workouts that participants do at their own pace. You will still have access to the clinic information, motivation, Facebook group page etc....
2. choose a full refund within the first 2 weeks of the clinic.

How it Works
Wednesday sessions focus on different trail locations all over Kelowna & West Kelowna. These workouts provide a variety of running sessions to help move athletes fitness and goals forward. Coached by professional running coach, Rene Unser likes to think outside the box and she finds creative, fun and challenging ways to train and motivate her athletes. Workouts include formats such as; hill training, stamina sessions, tempo workouts ,time trials, vertical challenges and more.
Weekend sessions are 90% off-road and endurance based. Participants are split into appropriate groups (based on their fitness levels) and paired with 1-2 experienced P.A.C.E. leaders for their long run.
Depending on the time of year, each clinic takes on a different focus. Base building, maintenance, speed, dry land, strength, competition etc...

Registration
Our clinics are limited to 50 participants per clinic, therefore we don't prorate our fees for any missed sessions. Our clinics provide much more value outside the run sessions, such as professional coaching, leadership support, weekly training tips, social events and more.
Our refund policy is as follows: 50% refund if participation ceases due to a medical condition and if less than 50% of the participation was complete. No refunds if more than 50% of participation was reached. PLEASE NOTE: clinic fees are non-transferable from clinic to clinic. As mentioned, we have limited spots in each clinic. If you register for a clinic and cancel your registration before the clinic begins, you will be charged a $25 administration fee. Thank you for your cooperation.
