The Beginner's Running Program was kicked off on 6th May 2006. Since then the completely free, completely fun and really easy to follow walk/jog program has seen a few success stories. We invite beginners to the sport to join us at 7:30am every Saturday to take up running as a sustainable fitness program.

The Beginners Program is loosely based on a beginners' program promoted by the New York Road Runners in the United States of America. It is a walk/jog program covering about 3km. After a period of about 8 weeks, and complemented with the participant's own 2 weekday workouts, the individual is expected to be able to jog for 20 minutes non-stop after a period of 8 weeks. From feedback by successful participants, the reward is a great sense of achievement and of course tangible health benefits.

To participate, simply turn up in your running shoes and comfy apparels at the car park adjacent to the Police HQ), Taman Tasik Perdana on the aforesaid day and time. Download the directional map here.

This program is conducted on a guided basis by Wan Yew Leong and Jamie Pang. Powerbar is the sponsor for this program.

Note - We would advise individuals keen on this program to consult their doctors before attending this program.
