Each year, DC Road Runners offers spring and fall training programs that target multiple DC-area races, including the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler, the Alexandria Half Marathon, the Army 10 Miler, and the Marine Corps Marathon. All our training programs are coached by a team of RRCA-certified coaches.

While these programs target local races, we welcome runners training for other events, and our coaches can work with trainees to adapt their training plans accordingly.
