Winter Half Marathon Training
Our 2010 Winter Half Marathon Training Program is designed to keep runners motivated through the long, cold days of winter. While the temperatures may be colder, that doesn’t mean training through the months of January, February, and March can’t be fun! This year, we are once again THE Official Training Program of the Magellan Spring Half Marathon on Sunday, May 16th. All Winter Half Training participants will receive a $5 discount off the registration fee and in turn enjoy a beautiful run along the shores of Lake Michigan.
