Our Mission
|
Our mission is to promote better fitness for everyone regardless of age or experience level through running and walking. Our members range from 10 to 75 so never think you’re too young or old to become fitter. Some of our members are still running even in there 70’s. Through walking and running you can achieve better health and more energy giving yourself a feeling of joy that you’re taking the steps to stay in shape and remain healthy. Running and walking are excellent forms of exercise simply because it takes no special skills or talents to get started, it’s a way of staying in shape with friends or on your own, it’s a exercise you can do almost anywhere at anytime. Although there may be many specialty clothes marketed toward exercise all that’s really required are shoes suitable to your weight, feet and stride.
We’ll have group runs a couple times a week at different places. As you continue to meet more members in your area hopefully everyone will make new friends to run and walk with. Having partners will definitely make you more reliable and determined to stick with it year round, and before you know it you’re a different person. Running and walking improves your lungs, heart, vascular system, muscles, balance and even your mind. So whether your goal is to run a marathon or just feel and look better, we can help you achieve a better you!
We are a non-profit origination with all club membership fees and donations tax deductible. The money that we raise will go toward expansion and improving of walking/running paths, most within the Forsyth county parks system. We already have several parks around Forsyth County with running and walking paths but all need improvements. We want to make them safer and more user friendly and eventfully lengthen existing paths along with creating new ones. F.A.S.T. 2006 |
