Team Training for EWEB Half

Training for a long race goes better if you run with a group that shares your goal and a coach who has helped hundreds runners reach it before. You set the goal, and we provide the group support and coaching advice for carrying out a proven training plan. This fall we point toward the EWEB Run to Stay Warm Half-Marathon (November 22^nd).

The Eugene Running Company has sponsored this training group since its launch in 2005. More than 500 runners have joined us, and their finish rate in halves and marathons is greater than 99 percent.

The team meets at the Running Company on Sunday mornings at 8:00. The fee for this program is $50 (with discounts for UO students), payable at the store before training begins. 

We welcome runners of all abilities and experience levels. However, we strongly recommend that you have run at least four miles before this training begins. Eugene Running Company group training on Sundays and Mondays can help you build toward our starting distance. To reserve a spot on Joe’s Team, contact the coach: joesrunteam@gmail.com.
