10K & Half Marathon Training Group Spring 2026
Looking to take your running to the next level in 2026? If so, let our exceptional coaching staff, pace groups, educational clinics, and training plans help you meet your goals.
The Fleet Feet Bloomington 10K & Half Marathon Training Program is designed to prepare runners for their first ever 10K or Half Marathon or help seasoned runners meet a new performance goal. Both programs will have options for participants new to these distances as well as more advanced runners.
We believe it is important to train with a goal in mind, usually (but not always) that goal is a race. This program is structured for half marathon participants to complete the Christie Clinic Illinois 10K & Half Marathon on Saturday, April 25, 2026 in Champaign IL. However - your goal might just be to run for fun with great people or you may have another event in mind and that works, too.
There will be an optional informational session on Tuesday, January 27 at 6:00 p.m. at Fleet Feet. Come learn more details about the programs to determine if they are right for you.
The first workout for the Half Marathon group will be Saturday, January 31 at 8:00 a.m. at Fleet Feet.
The first workout for the 10K group will be Saturday, February 28 at 8:00 a.m. at Fleet Feet.
The 10K group is an 8-week program, while half marathon is a 12-week program.

When: Weekly group training runs will be at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and 8:00 a.m. on Saturdays
