What is Start Training?
We'll take you from the first step to the finish line of a half marathon event. You can walk or run and no previous experience is necessary. You will be able to take part in weekly group trainings while you raise a minimum of $500 for the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.
Training Beginning in January we will offer weekly group trainings with other participants to prepare for the half marathon. In addition, our volunteer coaches will hold training clinics with information about correct running form, stretching, shoes, clothing, nutrition and more.
