The Fall 2018 Half Marathon Class is a 12-week program preparing individuals to participate in a half marathon this fall. The class starts on Wednesday, September 5, 2018 at 1st Place Sports, San Marco Store (2018 San Marco Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32207) at 6:15 PM (come prepared for a short run that evening). The $65 cost includes a one year membership in JTC Running. Current member price is $50. Previous class members receive a $5 discount.
The class can serve as a stepping stone for those planning to complete a marathon in December or January. The target half marathon is the Community First Half Marathon on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2018. If not able to participate on Thanksgiving Day, a good alternate half marathon would be the Ameris Bank Half Marathon on December 15, 2018.
JTC Running active and prospective members will gather after the Festival of Lights 5k at the 1st Place Sports San Marco store for refreshments and good cheer. A special order holiday tree ornament will be for sale to members for $5.00 and given FREE to each new member joining the Club that night!
