TRAINING GROUPS STARTING

DC Road Runners Club Summer Half Marathon Training Program is your opportunity to successfully prepare for the fall half marathon race of your choice.  Our top notch 12-week training program starts on Saturday, July 17, 2010 at Georgetown Running Company – 7:30 a.m. and requires a 5-mile running base (i.e., our shortest run will be 5 miles and we will build you up from there).  This program will train along side our ten mile training program to offer you additional training distances, so you won’t train alone and can find others at your pace and fitness level to keep you motivated and reach your goals.

The program costs $60.00 for club members and $70.00 for non-members (that’s little more than $5/week and our coaches are all volunteers) and includes:

  • Expert coaching for your pace and fitness level
  • "I RUN THIS TOWN" technical T-shirt
  • Mini post-run seminars by professionals in physical therapy, diet and more!
  • Weekly informational updates and a training plan
  • Weekly group training runs and speed workouts
  • A membership with the DC Road Runners Club that entitles you discounts at local running stores
  • Social opportunities throughout training
  • The motivation and camaraderie found only with a training group


Please note you will need to select and register for a half marathon race as your training program fee does NOT include a race registration.

If you would like to start building your base, we will be doing a free JumpStart clinic starting Saturday, June 19, 2010 and meeting each week on Saturday at 7:30 AM at Roosevelt Island in the parking lot at the golf course.
Should you have any questions about the program, you can reach the head coaches:  Emily Grossman, Rachel Bonistalli and Katie Finazzo.
