Whether you are a beginner or experienced half marathoner, the The10ktoHalf-Marathon clinic this the program for you! Not only will you learn the skills & techniques to run injury-free, but you will be training with a group of remarkable people who will help you reach your fitness & health goals in a safe and supportive environment – while having fun!

The 9-week program will gradually develop your strength and stamina for a 21km distance. Participants should ONLY consider these clinics if they have been running safely and comfortably, with no injuries, for 3 months prior to the start date. You will meet once per week with your group and receive a weekly training plan, coaching advice, access to webinars, nutrition tips, and additional training resources. 

The length of time it takes to train and prepare for a half marathon depends on your current running abilities and what your goals might be. Typical half marathon training plans usually average between 2 to 4 months, assuming you have running background. In our case, runners signed up for this program would have recently finished a 10K distance and are looking to keep going. This program is not for beginners.

You might be wondering, “Which Level of the program is best for me?” Our clinic offers two (2) intensity levels, both made to help you complete the Vancouver Half-Marathon within the time limit.

*Please note NOT all running levels will be offered at each clinic location. Be sure that the level you want to join is offered at your preferred host location prior to registering – this will be listed on our clinic registration page.
