Running clinics and sponsorship of racing series are just two ways that The Starting Block is involved not just in the Vernon community, but the entire Okanagan Valley!

Spring and fall running clinics offered in Vernon are designed for all levels of runners, and coached by co-owner, Wendy Schroeder. Whether you are new to running or training for a half-marathon, The Starting Block's clinics will help you achieve your goal! All clinics require pre-registration, so be sure to check out the details and e-mail or call us for schedules and prices early!

The Starting Block is pleased to support the Canadian Tire Interior Road Race Series which is comprised of a number of road races across the Okanagan. The Starting Block hosts the first road race of the series during Vernon's winter carnival.

The Starting Block Cross-Country Series, which is co-sponsored by Brooks, offers 5 cross-country races in different communities across the Okanagan Valley! This series of races offers challenging, scenic courses for those who love to run off-road.

So whether you're new to running or competing in one of the racing series, The Starting Block is here to help you achieve your goals!
