The Training Program

The Official CIM Training Program has everything you need to run your first or your fastest marathon: experienced coaches, ability-based training schedules, marathon specific seminars, discounted tune-up races, and so much more!

Race Day VIP Experience

Enjoy the Fleet Feet VIP experience on race day with a Fleet Feet-only pre-race bus from the finish line to the exclusive Fleet Feet warming tent at the start line. Perhaps most importantly, skip the lines and use the Fleet Feet-only set of portable restrooms outside the start line tent. Whatever your race day needs are, Fleet Feet has you covered!

• When you arrive at the group training run, check in with your coach. Your coach will ask you to certify that you have not been exposed to COVID-19.
• Once you are checked in, your coach will assign you to a spot 6 feet away from other participants. Please maintain a 6-foot distance from other participants throughout the group training run. Please refrain from hugs, high fives, and other physical contact.
• Shared amenities will no longer be available at training programs group training runs. That means no cooler of water, no electrolytes, no foam rollers, etc. Please plan to bring everything you need to succeed.
• You will also not be able to leave any personal items in shared areas during your group training run. Please plan to bring all of your things with you, or plan to keep your things in your car.
• You will not be required to wear a face mask, but you are welcome to wear one if you would like to. If you plan to wear a mask, make sure you can breathe well enough to exercise while wearing it.
