Welcome to Fleet Feet Sports Half Marathon (13.1 miles) Training Program. 

This program is friendly for both the first time half marathoner and the person that wants to feel stronger at the finish of their next 13.1. We use the run/walk method of training to help you reach your goals in a non-competitive and fun group environment. The first group long run is 6 miles. A good base will help you to succeed in the half marathon distance.

Our goal race is the Healdsburg Wine Country Half Marathon, a great opportunity for a getaway weekend in wine country! 

NEW additions to the Fall 2018 training program-

1)  We will have a handful of reserved spots for the race for our trainees who would like to register for the race.  

2)  BRICK Northern California will also be offering a Functional Fitness class, just for the Half Marathon training group, every Thursday evening at 6:30 pm.  PLEASE NOTE:  This registration page includes the BRICK add-on.  If you want the training option without BRICK, please visit our other registration page, here.
