Marathon Training
This Run Minnesota Training program is designed to prepare you for a fun and successful marathon! We offer spring and fall sessions, with the option to either train with a group or train independently.
Hosted in the Twin Cities and led by certified coaches, Run Minnesota group training includes Tuesday and Saturday supported group runs, a training plan with multiple mileage options designed to meet the needs of everyone from beginning marathoners to more experienced runners, twice weekly workout emails from your coach and a free training shirt. We emphasize teamwork along with the fun and camaraderie that can be provided through running with others.
We also offer an online training option for those who prefer running alone and/or for those whose schedules simply don’t align with our in-person group run calendar.
