CTC Marathon and Half-Marathon Training Program

Program registration limit: this popular program will CLOSE after the first 175 participants sign up, which usually occurs in late May. Since 1996, the Charlottesville Track Club has guided over 5000 runners to a safe completion of a fall marathon or half-marathon of their choice. The program is designed to properly prepare runners of all abilities to complete their first long-distance race or to improve on a previous effort. Each participant receives a personalized program tailored to match their individual needs, abilities, and specific goals. The program is supervised by Coach & Coordinator Mark Lorenzoni, who has 45 years of experience, and each individual will be able to consult with this coach (for specific and personal concerns) throughout the training program. How It Works: 1. Sign up on this page and you will receive a confirmation email along with the questionnaire you will need to fill out at the beginning of your training. 2.
