Training for a long race goes better if you run with a group that
shares your goal and a coach who has helped hundreds runners reach theirs
before. You set the goal, and we provide the group support and coaching advice
for carrying out our proven plan.
This round of training targets the Coburg Run
in the Country Half-Marathon (on July 20th) and the Portland
Marathon (October 4th)… plus the Oregon Half in Forest Grove
(September 12th), if interest warrants.
The Eugene Running Company has sponsored this
training group since its launch. More than 500 runners have joined us, and
their finish rate in marathons and halves is better than 99 percent.
The team usually meets at the Running Company
on Sunday mornings at 7:30. The fee for marathon training is $100 and for the
half-marathon, $50 (payable at the store).
We welcome runners of all abilities and
experience levels. However, we strongly recommend that marathoners have run at
least six miles, and half-marathoners at least four miles before this training
begins. Eugene Running Company group training on Sundays and Mondays can help
you build toward our starting distance.
