Whether you are new to running, or have competed in 5K or 10K races in the past, the Friends & Fitness Half Marathon Training Program is a unique 2-step conditioning plan to help participants successfully complete a 13.1 mile race.  It provides mid-week (Wednesday) track & hill workouts that improve one's speed and leg strength, along with a weekend long run (Saturday) to steadily improve cardiovascular endurance and mental strength.

Our program is geared to the novice and intermediate runner and culminates with the Rock-n-Roll Half Marathon in Virginia Beach, VA over Labor Day. For runners who prefer to enter a local race, after completing the Friends & Fitness Half Marathon Training Program, please consider the following races: Montgomery County Parks Half-Marathon, Army Ten-Miler, or the Baltimore Half Marathon.

Being a runner is not a pre-requisite of our program. However, we ask that participants be able to sustain some form of aerobic activity (e.g. Stairmaster, bicycle, Elliptical trainer) for at least thirty (30) minutes.

The Friends & Fitness Half Marathon Training Program is dedicated to the loving memory of Christopher Michael Mastrangelo, and all net program proceeds will benefit the Cassidy & Pinkard Race for Hope DC.
