Just wear comfortable running clothes, bring some water, and anything else you need personally. We'll take care of the rest.

Insurance & Payments

Since Race Prep 2026 is co-led by licensed physiotherapists and run coaches, only the physiotherapist-led portion of each session — 50% — qualifies as physiotherapy treatment. At $60 per session, that means $30 is eligible to claim. You'll receive an official physiotherapy receipt for that portion after each class to submit to your extended health provider. Coverage depends on your individual health plan.
We accept most major credit and debit cards. Full payment is required upfront to reserve your spot. After each session, you'll receive an individual receipt for any eligible physiotherapy insurance claims.
Yes, you get a special member priced offer for Race Prep 2026. This offer cannot be combined with any other discount.

Footwear & Perks

Each week, you'll run in different shoes from the adidas Adizero lineup so you can feel the difference in cushioning, energy return, and stability, and see what works best for your running.
You'll get an exclusive Race Prep x adidas kit valued up to $170, access to a custom RunReady exercise program each week, plus a mobility ball and resistance bands for your training.

Choosing the Right Program

Race Prep 2026 is a group training program designed to help you get stronger, move better, and stay injury-free in the lead-up to race day. It follows a weekly class format with up to 30 people. Every workout is led by licensed RunReady physiotherapists, and after class our RunReady coach leads you through structured run workouts. RunReady Assessments starts with a one-on-one assessment to see how your body moves, then gives you a RunReady Score and matches you with the right footwear and a targeted exercise program. Your score shows exactly where you can improve, and you'll have a clear plan to follow, with progress you can track and adjust over time. If you want a consistent, expert-led group class to train smarter and work toward your goals, Race Prep is for you. If you're looking for a personalized plan based on your unique movement, start with the RunReady Movement Assessment.
