Heart of Summer Training Clinics

Get fit and feel great!

Our 11-week training clinics are designed for everyone — from walkers to experienced runners.

It's a fun way to:

Get more exercise
Increase endurance
Meet new people
Train for the Boston Scientific Heart of Summer 5K/10K Walk/Run

Clinics meet weekly and include presentations, health tips and training schedules to meet individual goals.

Coaches will give you the motivation to succeed. They'll help beginners get started and challenge experienced runners.

At the start of the running clinics, you can choose to have your body mass index (BMI), blood pressure and cholesterol tested. The same screening tests are offered after the completion of the clinics. You'll feel healthier and be able to watch your tests improve.
