All People. All Paces. Always.

In partnership with Pig Works and The Flying Pig Marathon we are honored to present the 2025 edition of the Official Flying Pig Training Progam. Below you will find the complete details of the 17-week progam. The training schedule begins in early January and is broken into four phases throughout the session; each with a very specific goal & focus to keep all participants advancing and gaining fitness at a safe and proven cadence.

Progressive by nature, each week of training will build on the previous one slowly, consistently and safely. So no matter which Flying Pig event you intend to complete, we promise to get you ready, keep you safe and make it fun the entire time.

Locations. Days. Times

We offer four weekly training locations. Participants are welcome to move between locations but establishing a "home" location is encouraged.

Join us at Summit Park near the Dog Park at 8AM on Saturday, January 4th to complete a 3.1 mile run at your best effort to help determine your ideal training pace. Based on your finish time we will calculate a pace that should be ideal for your longer training runs throughout training.

Of course you're welcome to adjust pace groups as needed but this exercise will give you and us a solid understanding of your current fitness.
