Training Begins February 16, 2008.

Hundreds of AIDS Marathon volunteers in the Los Angeles Area will be training to complete the San Francisco Marathon™ or Half Marathon on Sunday, August 3, 2008.

Our training programs are geared to both beginners and experienced runners. The full marathon program starts with three miles of running and walking, and gradually increases in distance each week. The half marathon program starts with just one mile. 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 then 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.

Group runs take place each Saturday morning at Griffith Park. 

Training Begins Saturday, February 16, 2008.
