The Well at Sacramento State has provided training plans for those who wish to participate in the fourth annual Sac State 5K Fun Run on April 26.

The run is open to all student, faculty, staff and members of the campus community. In previous years, participants have included competitive and casual runners looking to run or walk in a community event.

The run will start and end outside of The Well while participants run or walk approximately 3.1 miles throughout the Sac State campus.

According to the course map there will be one station near the residence halls where volunteers will be giving out water somewhere between the one and two mile mark.

The Well has provided different levels of training plans and nutritional guides on its website for those who want to prepare for the race.

Women can also sign up for the Dashing Divas training program that meets twice a week to train for the Fun Run and the Kaiser Permanente Women’s Fitness Festival 5K in June.

Participants are encouraged to dress up as there will be a best dressed winner announced at the end of the race.

Registration for the event ranges from $17 to $27 and will increase after April 20.

The 5K Fun Run will be on April 26 and will start at 6 p.m. Parking is free on the sixth floor of Parking Structure III on a first come, first serve basis.
