About Us...

-We're a TEAM! Everyone in our group supports each other and our coaches want to help all of you achieve your goals.

-We will meet every Saturday for 13 weeks leading up to the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. We will have a clinic before each run on topics that will help us stay injury-free, learn more about the sport and of course help us run well on race day.

-For those who wish we will get together for breakfast after every run.

-Every other Saturday we will do a "race pace" run where we work on learning how to run an even pace. We will have mile markers set out on the course so we can all take our "splits."

-The other Saturday will be a Long Run where our main focus will be building up our long run so we will be able to handle the marathon or the half marathon distance.
