Program Description:

The Marathon Training Program has been successful in helping runners of all levels reach their marathon race goals. Join the fun, whether you are looking for guidance in training for your first marathon or looking for training partners to train for your 10th.

Whether a 14-minute miler or a 6-minute miler, we all cross the same finish line. The Marathon Training Program represents all paces, though the more runners that sign up, the easier this is. So please help spread the word about this training group.
