Is your goal to run a Half Marathon? This ten-week program will help you prepare to complete a half marathon (13.1 miles). The target race for this program is the North Shore Half Marathon (CARA Circuit Race) in Highland Park on June 10. This program includes 5 informational clinics with expert speakers covering the topics you need to know, and 9 weekend group runs led by experienced group leaders. Weekend training runs start Saturday, April 7 and are offered in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, Downtown Chicago, Arlington Heights, Oak Forest and Wheaton.

This 10-week program starts off with a Kickoff Clinic April 2-6 where you’ll meet fellow runners in training and group leaders. At this clinic you’ll also pick up your packet – which contains a booklet with your training run schedule, tips, Smart Running by Hal Higdon, plus a great premium.

Plus, this program serves as the perfect stepping stone into CARA’s LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon Training Program. If you sign up for the “Combo Package” – Half Marathon Training + Marathon Training at the same time, you’ll save $25!

We’ve helped thousands of runners achieve their half marathon goal, and we can help you too. Sign up for the program today!
