2024 Summer Program Testimonials

"This program is just what I needed as a first time marathoner.  I felt well supported by the coaches and paces.  There was also great community among all the runners.  I felt well supported throughout the program."

"I had a wonderful experience with the Fleet Feet Training x CES crew in Elmhurst this year.  All the coaches were very supportive and understanding. They were able to help me with my running and led great workouts. The group itself is made up of great people who are very welcoming and made the weekly meetings something to look forward to."

"I love the connection between coachers, pacers and trainees, I really enjoyed all the tips and tricks that I learned through the newsletters and long runs."
