If you’re serious about training for and completing a marathon or half marathon, join the region’s premier training program that has helped more than 3,500 runners and walkers reach their goal to finish a marathon or half marathon. Our trained coaches have completed over 500 marathons combined and can offer the support and motivation needed to keep you going. With eight marathon and nine half marathon pace groups, there is a speed suited for every participant – whether this is your first marathon or you’re trying to qualify for Boston. Each session offers several different “specialized” training tracks – for example, a Boston-bound track, advanced marathon track and specific options for certain major out of town events.
Class Format: One weekly organized and coached training run or walk, experienced coaches, planned courses, aid stations, weekly motivational e-mail, special clinics on important training topics, a technical shirt and package of “other goodies” (depending on season), celebration party and much more. Weekly fun runs are available at both KingsPointe Village and Blue Dome for our marathon and half marathon participants.
