14 years in the making. The track meetup that got things started that many years ago in Portland, Oregon. Mother Nature blessed us between rain showers and we completed the final interval training day of week 1 with 140 friends.

Let’s also give a big shout out to the more than 3,200 friends participating in Season 14 across 23 states and 3 countries.

It’s not too late to join us!! Registration is free.

Today we begin our 14th year and welcome friends across 23 states and 3 countries. Together we will spend the next 12 weeks focused on intentional movement by following our gradual interval training program as we work toward a shared goal of completing a 5K (3.1 miles) in February 2026.

Walkers and runners of all paces and experience choose to be part of this community each year and we couldn't be more excited to coach and encourage this group across their personal finish lines.

In case you're curious, here's a peek into our Week 1 training: 4 days of aerobic exercise walking or running, and then 2 days of strength/resistance training (a provided video-based program).

Heart to Start is powered by Providence Basecamp Prevention + Wellness, part of Providence Heart Institute. Programming is free to everyone, everywhere!
