LET US HELP YOU CONQUER THE HILL
The Hospital Hill Run has been one of the premiere half marathons in the country and a Kansas City tradition for 39 years. Many of you may have made running their first half marathon, or even running this half marathon, one of your New Year's resolutions for 2012. The Kansas City Track Club can help. Although the race isn't until June 2, 2012, it is never too soon to start training.
If you are new to running, or just new to half marathon training, you should start by working on your base. This means increasing your distance or speed in increments over time. The weekend, weekday group runs and intervals sponsored by the KCTC are the perfect place to meet fellow runners that can give you advice, motivate you and help you reach your goals. There are no set distances and these free group runs are perfect for those just starting out. Please see the list below to find a group run near you.
Once we get into spring, the Track Club will provide interval training and courses in conjunction with the long runs of your week to help you hit your goal, and also help you prepare for the infamously hilly terrain of the Hospital Hill Run course. You will get weekly updates from us regarding locations, course maps and distances, with running partners and group leaders to help you along the way!
