Winter 2026 5K / 10K Training ProgramFleet Feet Chico
Looking for motivation, structure, and a great group of people to train with this winter? Our Winter 2026 5K/10K Training Program is designed to help you run stronger, faster, and more confidently—while being part of a supportive team every step of the way.
This 7-week coached program is ideal for runners who can currently run 1.5–3 miles and want to work toward a personal record or simply feel more prepared and confident on race day. Whether you’re returning to structured training or taking the next step in your running journey, this program offers the guidance, accountability, and encouragement to help you succeed.
Our goal race is the Bidwell Classic 5K or 10K on March 7, 2026, one of Chico’s most beloved community races.
