Red Coyote Spring 2024 Half/Full Marathon Training Program

Red Coyote’s 15 week Half/Full Marathon Training Program is designed to help you train for the 2024 OKC Memorial Marathon but can be used to train for any spring half or full marathon. Whether you're attempting your first or shooting for a new PR, all abilities are welcome! The 14-15, 15-16 and walking pace groups are exclusive to the Half Marathon distance due to the race time cut off. In our Red Coyote program, we think sharing the training journey with friends working to achieve a common goal is the best part and makes every run more fun! We'll help you achieve your goal safely by a gradual and strategic increase in your training mileage. We give instruction on proper hydration, nutrition, injury prevention, running form, training principles, as well as other areas to help you have a successful race. We have over 60 experienced pace group coaches who will support you and keep you motivated!

Registration and Cost
Our 15 week program is FREE again this season! You'll receive a welcome email, training handbook and link to the Facebook page in early January a couple weeks prior to the start of training.

•••••SCHEDULE•••••
There will be a meet and greet for all participants on Sunday, January 14th from 6:00pm to 7:30pm at Red Coyote Classen Curve. This is a great chance to meet the coaches and fellow participants!

The kickoff workout will be Tuesday, January 16th at 6:00pm at Red Coyote Classen Curve. All Tuesday runs will begin at 6:00pm in rotating locations.

Our first Sunday morning group long run will be at Red Coyote Classen Curve on January 21st at 6:00am/6:30am. Those training for the full will start at 6:00am and those training for the half will start at 6:30am. The majority of Sunday runs will start at Red Coyote Classen Curve, but there will be a few field trip runs from other locations.

Make a note, we'll meet on Saturday morning instead of Sunday morning one time on March 30th since Easter is on March 31st and Red Coyote is closed.
