2020 Marathon Training Program

Welcome to Fleet Feet Folsom & Roseville's Marathon Training Program. This program is designed to help both new and experienced runners reach their marathon goals in a positive and fun group environment.

This training program lines up with the date of the California International Marathon, but it is also a great program for anyone looking to build their running endurance with an encouraging group.

While this marathon training program is filled with perks at its core – experienced coaches, goal-based training plans, insights from experienced marathon insiders, and premium race day experiences – it is really about building a community of people who share a passion and want to work together to reach their goals. This program is about encouraging and motivating one another to do your best. Whether you are looking to finish, improve, or perform, this program will leave you a smarter, healthier, and happier runner.
