13.1 Half Marathon

Get ready for a favorite local race with our Livermore Vally Half Marathon training program.

First group workout on Saturday, December 6

Completing a half marathon is a significant achievement, offering a sense of accomplishment and the rewards of improved fitness and personal growth. It serves as a stepping stone for runners aiming for longer distances or simply wanting to experience the joy and community of race day, especaily on a beautiful, destination course through rolling vineyards like the Livermore Valley Half.

But let's face it - training for a long distance event can start to feel, well, long and lonely sometimes. But not when you are part of a group where like-minded friends share the same goal and support each other to achieve them. The coaching and camaraderie experienced with our 12-week, structured half marathon program will propel you to the finish line. Suddenly, those long runs don't seem so long!

Training together is more motivating and a LOT more fun.
