Have you been inspired to continue training after Urban Cow? This is your sign to join us! Whether you are teaming up for the relay or taking on the entire distance yourself, we’ve got a training plan for you! 

This program is designed to help both new and experienced runners reach their half marathon and marathon goals in a positive and fun group environment. 

The California International Marathon (CIM) takes place on Sunday, December 8th 2024. This 26.2mile run starts in Folsom and ends at our state's capitol building! This race has a net elevation loss and is one of the country's best Boston Marathon qualifiers! It is a fast marathon course and a great first or 20th marathon course. 

While this marathon training program is filled with perks at its core – experienced coaches, goal-based training plans, insights from CIM insiders, and premium race day experiences – it is about building a community of people who share a passion and want to work together to reach their goals. This program is about encouraging and motivating one another to do your best. Whether you are looking to finish, improve, or perform, this program will leave you a smarter, healthier, and happier runner.
