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 training plan.
The Eugene Marathon
and Half’s return to a spring date (May 10th) will again make this
our target race for the season. This round of training will celebrate the 10th
anniversary of Joe’s Team.
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 8:00. 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 eight 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.

coach: joesrunteam@gmail.com.
