SportMedBC and The Vancouver Sun are seeking active, enthusiastic individuals who have a passion for running and/or walking for our 2012 Sun Run InTraining Program.
The community-based program introduces walkers and runners of all levels to a 13-week training program. InTraining is a program that meets the needs and interests of all exercisers from walkers and first-time joggers to experienced runners wanting to improve their 10K race time.
Volunteer RunWalk leaders help make the InTraining Program a welcoming experience even for the most uncertain participants. Volunteer leaders share an interest in physical activity and understand the challenges of starting a new exercise program.
Leaders should be fit and have the energy to motivate others to follow their RunWalk training schedule regardless of the weather or other circumstances. It is important however, that the motivation to become a leader is to help participants achieve their goals, not for leaders to further their own goals for completing a 10K.
Under the guidance of a Clinic Coordinator, InTraining leaders work as part of a team that leads novice runners and walkers to the safe and successful achievement of their fitness goals and the completion of the Vancouver Sun Run.
As a volunteer leader, you must attend the SportMedBC training session in January 2012. All volunteers will receive an entry to the Vancouver Sun Run (April 15, 2012), a souvenir T-shirt, a long sleeve technical training shirt, and education (including CPR training).
We are recruiting leaders for our four InTraining programs – Walk10K, LearnToRun10K, Run10KFaster, and NordicWalk10K.
Clinics begin the week of Saturday, January 14, 2012.
