Training Programs


Club Oly Road Runners sponsors multiple training programs throughout the year: a 5-mile, half marathon and a full marathon training program for the Capital City Marathon in May and an informal fall marathon/half marathon training group.

Reach your goals and meet new running friends by joining one of our programs!


Capital City 5 Mile Training Group

This program, led by certified running coaches and Club Oly members, is a 15 week program designed for new runners, returning runners with limited experience, and those who have no running experience who want to make a positive change in their lives. 

Using the walk/run method with as little as 20 to 30 minutes of walking and jogging, just 3 times a week, we can help just about anyone reach their goal of running a five mile race.  We invite runners and walkers of all abilities to join us!  

Training Schedule: we meet during the week on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:00 pm at Marathon Park and on Saturdays at the Briggs YMCA, at 8:30 am. The training group will begin on February 1 at 9:00 am this year with a kickoff meeting.

Registration fee is $65.00 which also includes a running shirt and full year of Club Oly membership in addition to the 15 week training program. The fee does not include entry to the race at Capital City Marathon Five Miler.

SRING AND FALL MARATHON/HALF MARATHON TRAINING PROGRAMS

During the winter and summer, Club Oly offers informal training groups for runners preparing for spring and fall marathons or half marathons. Led by an experienced coaching staff, the runs gradually increase over the course of the training group. Water stations are organized for the longer runs and we may have guest speakers and other events to offer advice on preparing for your marathon or half marathon. These informal trainings are included in the membership price.
