Red Coyote Spring 2023 Half/Full Marathon Training Program

Red Coyote’s 15 week Half/Full Marathon Training Program is designed to help you train for the 2023 OKC Memorial Marathon but can be used to train for any spring half or full marathon. Whether you're attempting your first or shooting for a new PR, all abilities are welcome! The 14-15, 15-16 and walking pace groups are exclusive to the Half Marathon distance due to the race time cut off. In our Red Coyote program, we think sharing the training journey with friends working to achieve a common goal is the best part and makes every run more fun! We'll help you achieve your goal safely by a gradual and strategic increase in your training mileage. We give instruction on proper hydration, nutrition, injury prevention, running form, training principles, as well as other areas to help you have a successful race. We have over 60 experienced pace group coaches who will support you and keep you motivated!

Registration and Cost
Our 15 week program is FREE again this season! You'll receive a welcome email, training handbook and link to the Facebook page in early January a couple weeks prior to the start of training. There are no preordered training shirts this season, but there will be some great merchandise available at a later time!
