Description

At Charm City Run our goal is to safely train runners towards reaching their goals of finishing your first ultra, achieving PR and everything in between. The power of the group atmosphere makes the journey fun and enjoyable while encouragement from your coaches makes the long runs much easier.

Each group will meet twice a week for 16 weeks for runs and learn about hydration, trail running, easy runs, recovery runs, hydration, nutrition, injury prevention and much more along the way. Weekday runs will consist of hills and track workouts. Weekend morning runs will be trail runs at local parks, unless weather forces us to stay on the roads.

Our spring ultra group starts on March 2nd  and will target the CAT 25K on June 21st, 2025 or any other spring ultra marathon in the same time frame. Training plans can be adapted to your target race.

Requirements

To safely meet your goal we do ask that you have completed at least one marathon distance and have a strong base level of trail running under your belt. We ask that you are able to run 10 miles at least once before the start for the program. Are you not sure if you meet these requirements? Don’t worry, ask the coach during the info session.
