Half Marathon Training Begins 11/11 on the LT App!
If you’re curious about what the road map to success looks like in the half marathon, we’ve got a 12-week training program in the Life Time Digital app. Developed by Life Time Coach Mike Thomson, the half marathon plan is a holistic initiative that integrates strength and cross training, while providing the “why” behind each week’s workouts through videos loaded with tips and motivation.

Pace Teams
Give yourself an extra boost toward meeting your time goal on race day or just add some fun and entertainment to your race by joining a pace team, courtesy of our partners at Marathon Pacing.
A pace team is a group of runners led by an experienced leader who run together in the race. The pace leader runs a steady pace and keeps track of that pace so the group can achieve their time goal. With a pace group, you’ll be supported by a cheerful leader and run side by side with other runners sharing the same goal. And the best part — running with a pace team is 100% free to registered runners!
Finding Your Pace Team
About 30 minutes before the start, pace teams will begin assembling in the starting area. Look for the signs which show the various pace times. These signs will be held high by members of the pace groups and will be staggered in starting order according to pace (faster times closest to the start line). Your pacer(s) will meet you at the appropriate sign.
Official pacers will be wearing special bibs which display their individual pace time. About 15 minutes before the start, the pacer will give you some last-minute instructions about running with the group. They will talk about the course, what to do if you need a break, how to best make it through the water stops, and much more.
The most important part of the race is to relax and ENJOY!! Remember… we’re #NotRunningWithoutYou!
