The White River RoadRunners are initiating their annual “Train for Four” training program for this year’s race. Beginning on Saturday, June, 4th, the club will hold weekly training sessions for anyone wanting to train for and participate in the race. At the initial training session participants will be broke out into pace groups based on running experience and time goals. Each participant will receive a training plan to follow during the next eight weeks leading up to the race. At the Saturday morning training sessions everyone will get together for training progress updates, individual/specific training, and group runs to prepare for the race. Other group runs and training sessions will be scheduled during the week if participants want to train together.
