Fox Valley Marathon Training Runs are back !
Unlike street marathons, Fox Valley's course along the river trails
gives runners the chance to experience the actual race course all summer long.
The race committee and local sponsors will host a series of 6 weekend morning runs on the course,
- beginning with a 10 mile run June 16th, (5 miles for half marathoners)
- adding 2 miles every 2nd weekend
- and finishing with a 20 mile run August 25th, 3 weeks before Race Day.
By the end of the series, runners will have already run the entire course,
making your race day marathon as comfortable and familiar as possible.
The runs will include pace guides running near 8, 9, 10, and 11 minutes per mile,
and cost nothing to join.
The runs were a big hit in previous years so
we are anxious to see some familiar faces, make some new friends, and show off our revised course along the beautiful Fox River trails
and through our host communities.
There are a number of water stops along the path and we will put out two water/gator station to supplement. We strongly suggest carrying your own fluids and refilling as you go.
