Alliance Athletics Sun Run InTraining Clinics have started at 70 plus centres in the Lower Mainland as well as Penticton, Kelowna, Kamloops, Bowen Island, the Sunshine Coast and Squamish. Thanks to SportMedBC’s InTraining Program Coordinator, Olympian Lynn Kanuka, the programs have been updated and improved. The revised training programs provide greater variety and more gradual progressions. There are training groups that suit the needs of walkers and runners of all abilities.
