2019 Hoop City Half Marathon Training Program

The 2019 Hoop City Full Marathon Training Program is a 13 week program designed for ALL LEVELS of runners who have previously run at least one 10k road race (recommended, but not required). Long runs begin will begin with a 3 mile run and progress up to a maximum long run distance of 13 miles.

Train for "THE SLAM DUNK CHALLENGE"!  The Hoop City Half Marathon, which is on October 6th, also offers a 5k on October 5th.  As a participant in our program, you will train to do BOTH the 5k on Saturday and the half marathon on Sunday.  As a result, you will receive an additional "challenge medal" for doing both races! (Please note that this is optional - you can choose whether or not you want to do the challenge)

Each week will feature THREE organized training workouts: Tuesdays @ 6PM, Saturdays @ 9AM, and Sundays @ 8AM (7AM when it gets hot!), including form lessons to help participants avoid injury and increase their efficiency.  Long runs will feature support stops, including water, an electrolyte beverage, and other goodies.  All participants will receive a punch coupon (with TONS of savings!), 15% off your Hoop City race registration(s), weekly motivational and educational eNewsletters, a detailed daily training schedule, optional speed work training, a technical shirt, graduation party and more! Whether it will be your 1st half marathon or your 50th, this program is for you! All paces are welcome.
