FREE TO KAR MEMBERS! Attention Kalamazoo Area Runners… it is time to celebrate all your accomplishments in 2011, recharge your batteries and prepare for 2012. Join us again for the 2nd Annual Running Head-to-Toe workshop to educate you, as a runner, on various performance enhancement and injury prevention topics. This will be an informative and interactive workshop discussing the “latest topics” in the running world. We have assembled a panel of experts in their respective fields from our community to discuss topics on: advanced form running, Yoga for runners, Pilates for runners, running-induced asthma, the “diabetic runner,” heart rate monitor training and more. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge needed to exceed your expectations!
