We Welcome Runners Of All Skill Levels
No matter your skill level or pace, you’re welcome on our training team! We meet you at your current fitness and running skill level and progress your training from there to safely reach your running goals. Our group has had great success training first-time half marathoners and marathoners to achieve respectable times. If you are an experienced half marathoner or marathoner, we can help you improve your race times or get closer to that elusive Boston qualifying time.
We do recommend that members be able to run at least 3, mostly, continuous miles before starting our program or participating in our Spring Season to build a solid running base before training for the 13.1 or 26.2-mile race distances.
We do not offer a walking training program for the marathon or half marathon distance but runners of all paces and experience levels are welcome to become members.
Saturday Morning Long Run Locations & Start Times
Saturdays are all about working on endurance and building up the mileage base needed to “go the distance” and complete the marathon and half marathon distances. Saturdays are fully-supported longer runs with Gatorade, water & light carb snacks provided every 2 – 2.5 miles along running routes. We also have a support vehicle out on all routes to make sure everyone is ok and can shuttle runners back to homebase as needed.
