DRC Half and Full Marathon Training Program - Spring 2008 Overview | Program Benefits | Program Details | Volunteers Needed | FAQ | Contact Us
News Program closes to new entrants after Saturday, January 26! Sign up one of these two times, or you are out of luck! Kickoff meeting was January 9 - attended by 150! This is a new program for 2008 and the first time to provide full marathon training. Coming off the success of our half marathon training program in the fall of 2007, the Dallas Running Club (DRC) is offering a very affordable training program for both half and full marathon distances. The program is designed to help new and veteran runners complete the half and full marathon distances in a fun, social, non-competitive atmosphere. We want to motivate and encourage runners to complete the training and distance runs and get to the starting line injury-free. Group runs help participants stay accountable to their program. This training program is $20 and you must be a member of the Dallas Running Club through to the end of the program (May 1st). This program is open to walkers, those that want to alternate walking and running intervals, and runners. Special thanks to Nikki Davis, Greg Hall, Shannon Metcalf, and David Bintz for their help! Participants will receive the following benefits:
