Run a Marathon or Half Marathon

The Joints in Motion Training Team will prepare you to go the 13.1 or 26.2-mile distance! Our professional coaches can guide you through an 18 to 20-week training program, which will prepare you for the marathon distance. The majority of our Joints in Motion participants have never ran a marathon, and many have never completed any type of race before, but all have the dream of crossing the finish line. Our experienced coaching staff will assess your current fitness level and provide you with a daily training schedule to get you go the distance.
