Ready to start your training journey for a Spring race? We’re here to help you get to that race day finish line!
The Capital Striders Winter & Spring Training Group is designed to prepare runners of all skill levels for the Spring/early Summer racing season. Whether you’re training for a half or full marathon, running shorter distances, maintaining a base, or just want to meet fellow runners, this training group is for you. All paces are welcome, encouraged, and will be supported along the route. Water on the course is provided at all of our training runs, thanks to the support of RunnerStuff.com and Fitness Sports.
WHEN AND WHERE?
Saturday mornings at 7:30am - we’ll switch to a 7:00am start time on March 19
ROUTES AND DISTANCES?
The distance and elevation changes of the routes will gradually increase from week to week to assist you in your preparation for a fall marathon or half marathon distance.
The routes/maps are posted each week in our weekly email newsletter. You can see the full training schedule here. Sign up for our weekly emails here.
Our starting location every week during winter/spring training will be from Drake University, Meredith Hall. Please note that masks are required within all buildings of Drake University, and our use of the facilities is subject to this mandate.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Capital Striders’ membership is encouraged, but not required to participate in the training group. We do ask that everyone sign a 2022 Waiver. You can print/sign and bring it with you, or sign one at the start (we'll have copies).
Your Capital Striders membership helps cover the cost of water, Gatorade and other expenses required to host these activities. See our club memberships options!
