About This Program
The Fort Madison Family YMCA is proud to offer the Couch to 5K fitness program leading up to our Annual Rodeo Stampede 5K Run! Whether you have never run a day in your life or you used to be an avid runner, this program is for you.
The C25K Program is a beginners training program for all ages that has helped thousands of new runners get up off their couch and into a healthy lifestyle, running three miles in just eight weeks at our Annual Rodeo Stampede 5K!
The program is led by YMCA Personal Trainer Dana Zumdome, who will teach and motivate participants to follow a weekly training program. The group meets regularly for support and encouragement. All participants receive free access to the Fort Madison Family YMCA's main facility during the program, free entry into the Rodeo Stampede 5K (including access to all Pre-Rodeo Events and Pancake Breakfast), and a free Rodeo Stampede t-shirt.
