5K Your Way! 

Completing a 5K race is a powerful but realistic fitness goal for people of all fitness levels. The 

problem is, most people embark in a running program without professional guidance and end up 

getting injured and frustrated. Certified personal trainer, Molly Klein, will be meeting with you once a 

week for eight weeks to motivate and coach you to completing your first 5k ‘your way’. In your weekly 

training sessions, you will be participating in a group run/walk along with receiving nutrition and 

additional fitness coaching that supports your goal of running. This eight week training program puts 

you on pace to participate in the Fargo Marathon 5k Run Fun on Friday, May 18th. 

Participants should have the ability to walk for 25-30 continuous minutes prior 

to participation in the 5k Your Way training program.

Pickleball/River Activities 

PICKLEBALL 

Pickleball is a racquet sport which combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. 

The sport is played on a court with the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court. The 

net is lower than most other racquet sports allowing for faster play. The game is played with a 

hard paddle and a wiffle ball, making the technique required for Pickleball different than other 

sports. www.usapa.org 

Locations: Village Green Park - 1 court • Riverview Estates Park - 1 court 

Time: Evenings starting at 6:30 pm till dusk 

May through September, when wind is less than 20 mph
