In this training series brought to you by SummaCare, runners have the opportunity to meet-up with Summa Health providers before hitting the Blue Line as a group! All distances and paces are welcome, including walkers. Here’s what to expect:

  • Each meet-up will include a brief talk about relevant running topics – such as the importance of long runs, tips for setting new personal records, and post-race recovery.
  • Then, the doctor will run along with you on various sections of the Blue Line and be available for questions and suggestions as you move through your group run.
  • Every run of the series will introduce you to a new Summa Health provider and cover different race-related topics.
  • Take part in this unique running experience!

Strider runs will take place May through September.  Registration and event details will be available in April.  

Other Summa Health specialists may also make a guest appearance to talk about new innovations in their specialty. 

A representative from the Akron Marathon will be present to assist runners and walkers of all levels.
