Sports Round-Up by Paul Beitler

Training series for walkers, runners
Bluffton Regional Medical Center and the Ouabache River Runners are teaming together to offer a training series for walkers or runners looking for help to get ready for the 35th Parlor City Trot. The program consists of weekly meetings each Tuesday for 12 weeks starting on June 16. The participants will be given a training program that will have them ready to finish the event of their choice on race day (10 km, 10 mile or 13.1 mile half-marathon). There also will be an educational part, involving proper footwear, typical training mistakes, injury prevention and treatment, and race-day preparation.
