Marathon Training Program - NYC Marathon

The nation's premier road race is a thrilling and exhilarating experience for both participant and spectator alike.  However, this is the year that you've made the decision to leave the ranks of spectator and experience this monumental race as a runner.  We at Jackrabbit understand the enormity of this event and have the tools and experienced coaches to help you achieve your race day goals.

This 16 program is geared toward the individual who has a solid running base, can run at least 6 miles continuously and whose goal is to finish the race.  The twice weekly group workouts will focus on honing your existing running skills - accurate pacing and increased endurance.  We will break the group into different pace gorups depending on your individual ability and pace. Distance running strategies will be covered in addition to nutrition, hydration, running gear, staying healthy and their unique roles in a race of this length and duration.  Ample time will be given to race day preparation so that your big day is a successful and positive experience.

Program registration does NOT include race registration.
