Registration Deadline passed.
Fall 2023 Half Marathon Training

Join us for our 2023 fall distance training program.   We'll be training for the Jingle Bell Jog half-marathon in Madison on December 9th.  This year's race features a new course featuring flat sections, rolling hills, and a few challenging hills as well. 

Beginner-friendly, the program is designed to get you to push your limits and reach the 13.1 finish line. This 14-week program is perfect for walkers/runners looking to complete their very first half-marathon as well as for those looking to improve their PR or just have fun training with a group.  If you're looking to join us, we suggest you should be able to run a 5K distance and maintain a 14:00/mile pace.  

Group runs will be held Tuesdays at 6 p.m. and Saturdays at 7 a.m. from our Ridgeland store.  Training will begin on Tuesday, September 5th, with the first long run being 3 miles.  We'll gradually build distance while inserting recovery weeks to help you reach your goals.

Our distance training programs include Coaches, Pacers, a day-by-day training plan, on-course water/hydration, clinics, and more.  We will have pace groups at 8:00/mile, 8:30, 9:00 etc. up to 13:00/mile and 14:00/mile.  Whether you run, run/walk, or only walk, we encourage you to join us.

Even if you cannot maintain a 14:00/mile pace, you're welcome to join us, but we cannot guarantee we'll have someone to pace you. 

Registration is $150 for the 14-week session.  An info meeting will be held in-store at our Ridgeland location, as well as live-streamed on Facebook, on Tuesday, August 29 @ 6:15 p.m.  Please note registering for this training program does NOT include registration for the goal race.
