For beginners and competitors and practiced by thousands of runners, ChiRunning combines modern physics with the ancient wisdom of T’ai Chi to create a running form that is easily learned and makes running more effortless and enjoyable. Level I and Level II ChiRunning clinics will be offered.
The ChiRunning clinics will be led by certified ChiRunning and ChiWalking Coach Vince Vaccaro of TriTek. Vince has been an avid runner for over 30 years. His running experiences began in high school and continued through college. He is now completing a goal of running a marathon in each state. He has completed countless events from 5k to The Lake Tahoe Triple.
