🌟 Participant Testimonials

"Absolutely loved this program! It was so motivating to see everyone's progress and kept me on track much better than if I were following another program or app on my own!" --past UCAN5K participant

"This has been such a helpful program for me, first when I wanted to start running and then this year when I needed help getting back into a running routine. And as a lone runner for so long, I had no idea how fun it is to run with others until this year's program!" --past UCAN5K participant

"I'm so grateful! I don't think I would have been able to do this without support! I am so pleased with the program. Looking to continue my running!" --past UCAN5K participant
