SUMMER HALF MARATHON TRAINING: Starts June 5th
There's nothing "HALF" about a Half Marathon - it's still 13.1 miles! Our Half Marathon training program has something for everyone. Aim for finishing your first race, capture that elusive PR or simply have a great time training and hanging out with some fantastic people!
Our custom, 17-week training program, with twice/week group training & multiple locations, will prepare you for the race, no matter what your experience level is. Our coaches will challenge you with an effective, smart training program and our experienced pacers will guide you each week. You’ll be part of a supportive community, have a ton of fun and get prepared for success at the marathon all at the same time.
GOAL RACE: Chicago Half Marathon, Sep. 26th
