TriHealth and Bob Roncker's Running Spot have teamed up to offer a summer Sit to Fit program for Greater Cincinnati residents who want to work toward running or walking in a 5K event.

Groups will meet for eight weeks on Mondays and Thursdays, starting at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 20 at the following locations:

Ohio

Kentucky

• Newport - Newport on the Levee

This program targets individuals who do little or no exercising, but who would like to begin, says Bob Roncker of Bob Roncker's Running Spot.

"Many times people are intimidated and fearful of starting something like this. But our Sit to Fit program is a very non-threatening, enjoyable, and sound program that will produce results. At the end of eight weeks, you will be able to complete a 5K or have the confidence knowing you could if you wanted to." 

The goal event for TriHealth groups is the Jingle Bell 5K on Sunday, Sept. 13 at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center.

The groups are designed for beginning walkers, run/walkers or joggers. Sessions are limited to 50 participants to ensure everyone has the opportunity to receive personal attention.

The $50 cost includes technical shirt, technical socks, gift card, training information, health and wellness information, motivational tips, a like-minded group with which to associate and an award celebration to recognize your achievement.
