What is Abe's Army?
Abe's Army is a 12 week training group designed to train new runners and walkers to complete Abe's Amble - Springfield's premier 10K road race, held on the final day of the Illinois State Fair, August 23rd, 2009. Abe's Army participants are divided into groups of 10-12 based on similar fitness levels and led by two or more Platoon Leaders per group.
Who can join?
Abe's Army welcomes walkers and runners of all abilities. Children under the age of 16 are welcome to join, however, they must be under the direct supervision of a parent/guardian and will be assigned to the same group. Please consult your family physician before undertaking any new exercise routine.
What group will I be in?
You'll be assigned to a group within either the Privates Platoon (for new athletes) or the Corporals Platoon (for more experienced runners). Walkers and Race Walkers will be assigned groups accordingly.
