Winter 2026/2027 Adult Full & Half Marathon Training Evening - Apex

Winter 2026/2027 Adult Full & Half Marathon Training in Apex is brought to you by Triangle Run Smart Training, presented by Pace Yourself Run Company and The Running PTs.

The class is 16 weeks long and is geared toward helping adults train for a full or half marathon, whether it is their first or they are a veteran runner looking to improve their race time. All paces are welcome. However, this class is NOT for beginner runners: you should have some prior running experience, and it is advised to come in running 10-15 miles per week for the lowest injury risk as training mileage increases through the season.

The class includes a detailed daily plan over the 16 weeks, 2 coached group runs per week, suggested cross-training and strength training workouts, and coach-supported Saturday group long runs.

Cost of the class is $85 if you register by 11/15/26. Registration from 11/16 to 12/20 costs $90. The deadline to register is 12/20. No refund and no deferral if you drop the class after registering.

If you have financial difficulty affording the class, please contact us. We have a donation program that can help.

Cost includes: 16-week training schedule, 2 coach-led group run workouts per week, email access to the coach throughout the program, 20% off at Pace Yourself Run Company (some restrictions apply), training class shirt, strength training plan, coach-led Saturday group long runs, 15% off merchandise (shirts, hats) at The Running PTs, and weekly tips and running information from your coach and The Running PTs.

Coach John Tate will coach this class.
