The fall marathon tradition continues in 2021! While some are training for a personal record in Chicago or Boston, others to finish their first marathon in New York, and some to stay in shape for the spring season, Atlanta Track Club’s In-Training for Fall Marathons program is designed to meet your needs while training at home or in-person. The 14-week program combines structured long runs with additional midweek workouts to help you reach your goals with the support of a community or without having to leave your neighborhood. You pick the marathon and we help you prepare!

In 2021, the In-Training for Fall Marathons program will feature:

• In-person and virtual options
• Certified coaches to guide you while keeping you accountable
• Digital learning opportunities on Tuesday evenings at 8:00 p.m. led by Atlanta’s running and walking experts
• Small group workouts throughout the city during the week and larger long runs on Saturdays
• Additional customized training levels to meet your fitness, experience, and goals
• Individualized workouts to prepare you for the marathon of your choice
• Daily text/email reminders of workouts powered by Final Surge
