We hope to see many of you this evening at 6:00pm at Riverside Park, near the eagle statue. 😁 Training for the YMCA Maple Leaf Walk Run starts tomorrow!!! We look forward to seeing you at Riverside Park at 6:00pm!!! What do you get if you register for the YMCA Maple Leaf Walk Run "In Training" Classes? 
"I joined GBT back in 2016 and it was probably the best decision I ever made. I had been training for my first half marathon on my own and realized very quickly I had no idea what I was doing. I reached out to a friend to ask for advice and she recommended I join GBT since they were training for the same race. I was a little late to their training schedule (no surprise there for those who know me) and the first run I was about to join was a 6 mile run. I was so terrified! I had so many negative thoughts about how I couldn’t do it and how it would be so hard for me. But as soon as I met the GBT group, all of those fears went away. There was so much positivity and encouragement that I was able to go through those 6 miles with no problems. To say the least, I was hooked ever since.
If you’re looking for a group that pushes you, supports you and makes running fun – join now. GBT has offered so much more than just running and I am so grateful for that. Thank you GBT for making me the runner I am today – you guys rock."
If you missed tonight's run, but would still like to join our group, registration is still open! We hope to run with you soon!
Happy training!
