We will again be offering the following options: Marathon Running, Marathon Walking, Half Marathon Running and Half Marathon Walking. All of our programs will meet twice weekly and we’ll provide a month-by-month training schedule for you to follow along the way. In addition, we’ll make up each and every route for you and provide you with coaching, hydration and energy supplements during the workouts. We will also be offering a “Sunday morning Make-up Session” for those unable to attend our regular Saturday sessions.
