Welcome to Fleet Feet Chico Half Marathon and Marathon Training (Phase 2) Program.
This program is designed to help both new and experienced runners reach their marathon and half marathon goals in a positive and fun group environment.
**New for 2025**
We are offering an 8-week program for the marathon cycle. We are also offering an 8-week Marathon “Prep” program that starts in January to prepare you for this 9-week training cycle. (Winter Road Half Marathon / Marathon Prep Training - 2025 - Fleet Feet Chico)
This training program lines up with the dates of the Avenue of the Giants Marathon. This is also a great program for anyone looking to build their running endurance with an encouraging group or if you're training for another spring/early summer marathon.
While this marathon training program is filled with perks at its core – experienced coaches, goal-based training plans, insights from experienced marathon insiders, and premium race day experiences – it is really about building a community of people who share a passion and want to work together to reach their goals.
