Marathon News and Updates
July 2, 2018

Greetings!

Wishing you a safe and happy 4th of July! Be the one to volunteer to bring the sunscreen to the picnic or parade. Remember to seek shade when possible and wear sunglasses and hats.

With this heat, it's best to avoid mid-day training runs between 10am-3pm. Just know it is okay to split up your training times...run a few miles in the morning and the remainder at dusk. Click here for How to Train in the Heat.
