How to Train
You didn’t really think we would send you off on the race without some training did you?!
Don’t worry, each race ticket comes with a 12 week training plan that will be emailed to you the beginning of June to make sure you are fully prepared and ready to tackle this race!
We will have a beginning and advanced plan so that you can choose which option best suits you.
Believe that you can run farther, or faster. Believe that you’re young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don’t let worn out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself.
