RUN BENTONVILLE HALF MARATHON TRAINING PROGRAM
The Run Bentonville Half Marathon Training Program is administered and coached by Mike Rush, owner of Rush Running Company, Bentonville, AR.
When you register, we’ll ask for your estimated finish time to get a sense of your starting point. No pressure, we won’t hold you to it! All you need by our first group meeting on December 13 is the ability to run one mile. Expect to receive your training information along with Facebook Group information by early November.
From there, we’ll help you train for 13.1 miles on April 4 with a clear plan for mid-week runs and cross-training. Each Saturday, join our supportive volunteers for group runs, expert-led clinics, and the chance to make new friends.
Every year, new running groups and friendships are born here. Whether it’s your first Half Marathon or you’re chasing a personal best, this program is for YOU!
Each week during the group runs, volunteers will be wearing vests with pace group times marked (from 7:30/mile-18:00/mile). Trainees MUST be able to maintain an 18:00/mile to participate in the program as 4 hours is the time limit for the Run Bentonville Half Marathon.
$250 (plus processing fees) Registration includes entry into the Cupid Kilometer's 8k, Irish 10k, and the Run Bentonville Half Marathon
