FitFamilies, the Asheville Track Club's latest program, targets busy families desiring a budget-friendly, age-appropriate fitness program suitable for every family member.
 
For our first season, FitFamilies has partnered with ATC's popular Beginning Runner's Program, which meets at beautiful and flat Carrier Park in West Asheville every Tuesday and Thursday from 6-7pm.  While parents/caregivers train for the Bele Chere 5K with their running/walking coaches, the children train for the Bele Chere fun run by playing various running field games.  The soft chip trails and open fields of Carrier Park create the perfect environment for family fitness fun!  Many of our families pack a basket and picnic together, enjoying a healthy meal together after a solid workout! 
 
Come out and see what the buzz is all about!  It's not too late to get ready for Bele Chere.  Beginning Runner's Program : $20/person.  FitFamilies Active Childcare:  price varies according to start.  Email kellyallenasheville@gmail.com for details.
If you are looking for another great road race this fall, the Asheville Track Club also produces the Thomas Wolfe 8K, which starts and finishes in front of the writer's boyhood home.  For race information, click HERE.
