Training

So...if you are running the full-marathon, I would imagine that you are starting to work back up on mileage - even if it is to prepare for your "official" training program. Since we have just over 5 months left, it is a great time to start getting back into the swing of training, or to begin amping up those miles if you are a first timer. (Great marathon for first timers with several aid stations!) If you are running the half-marathon, you can begin as well. It never hurts to work up those miles slowly. I prefer to take months to enjoy the process!

Relay runners...start thinking about who is running which leg! All of the legs on the race are different, from distance to terrain. You can check out leg descriptions on our website under the "Relay" section. Remember, leg 2 may be the longest and hilliest, but it is really beautiful as well. There are benefits to each leg. If you don't have a complete team, start asking your friends, even if they don't run. If they begin to train now, they will be very comfortable with any of the distances.

Have fun with your training, meet new people, and enjoy the outdoors!
