About Forerunners’ Clinics:
Founded by Karen and Peter Butler, Forerunners became the first running store in Canada to conduct organized running clinics in November 1986. The weekly running clinics began as a way to foster fitness and education to customers as the popularity of running skyrocketed during the “Running Boom” of the 1970s and 80s.Aside from 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the clinics have been held annually and will be returning in full for the first time since the pandemic began.
“As we approach our 36 year store anniversary – later this year – we are excited to resume a full clinic program,” says Peter, Forerunners co-founder and former 2:10:56 marathon runner.

FAQ
What Can I Do To Prepare?
To ensure that you get the most out of your experience in the clinic, come with a positive frame of mind and an eagerness to learn about the many benefits of running. We suggest you should be able to run an easy 30 minute run non-stop prior to joining.
What Should I Expect?
You should expect to have a great run, and have a great time. We will guide you over 15 weeks to make you a stronger, better runner. A program for “homework” will be given out. We will also have a souvenir item & weekly newsletter.
