Crim Festival of Races Training Programs Begin In May

The Crim returns to downtown Flint in August and training programs begin soon.

It's more than just virtual this year. The Crim Festival of Races has begun planning for both in-person and virtual races on Saturday, August 28th. If you want to run one of the races, but don't know where to begin or how to train, the CrimFit training programs are starting soon.

How do the CrimFit training programs work?

These programs take groups of runners or walkers of all paces and help them train for the 10-mile, 5-mile, and 5K races. The groups meet every Tuesday at 6 pm and the group leaders give guidance and help create workout plans for you to meet your goals.
