Our Summer Training Season Begins June 9, 2007.

Hundreds of AIDS Marathon volunteers in the Chicago area will be training to complete either the Las Vegas Marathon or Half Marathon on Sunday, December 2, 2007 or the Florence Marathon on Sunday, November 25, 2007.

Our training programs are geared to both beginners and experienced runners.  We start with three miles of running and walking, and gradually increase the distance each week.  Many of our participants are first-time marathoners and some have never run a step in their lives.  But 98% of those who complete the program go on to complete the marathon.

The training requires just 30 minutes, twice a week on your own, and a longer group run each weekend.  An experienced Running Coach will be on hand to answer your questions and give you valuable advice and encouragement.

Each weekend, you'll train with your "pace group" -- other runners who share your same level of conditioning, whether fast or slow.  By the end of the six months, you'll have achieved what many others only dream about.

There are two group run sites in Chicago that meet each weekend.  Choose the one that's most convenient for you

Saturday Run Site Sunday Run Site
  • Lakefront North*
