The full marathon program is an 18-week program which takes place in the summer/fall that prepares participants for their fall marathon. 

To ensure participants are prepared for their marathon, all registrants must be able to complete at the start of the program 8-10 miles (16:00 min/mile) comfortably for a full marathon.  A pre-training plan will be provided at the kick-off event to support you in reaching this distance requirement by the start of the group runs.
