• BEST FOR: Anybody who wants to be part of a team for the Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon. We'll have a group of proteges: runners who are taking on the half marathon distance for the first time—or the first time in a long time—and want a mentor/accountability buddy to help with the training cycle and run with them on race day. And we'll have a group of mentors: runners who are experienced at the half marathon and want to encourage a fellow runner through the training cycle and on race day. PREREQS For Proteges
    • You'll use one of two training programs 13.1: Run/Walk or 13.1: Run
    • For 13.1: Run/Walk program: No running or race experience is required, but good general fitness—and a lack of injuries—is definitely necessary.  The run/walk segments start with 2 minutes of running, 4 minutes of walking, so you should be able to run easy for several minutes.
    • For the Run program: The ability to currently finish a 6-mile easy run. (Experience in shorter races is helpful but not mandatory.) Also, a injury-free body—or on your way to being injury free.
    • You are excited to have a running mentor to guide you and a full team to support you.
    For Mentors
    • You have run at least one half marathon in the last six months, and have run at least 3 half marathons in the past two years.
    • You are injury free.
    • You have the time and energy to mentor a runner, and plan on being in Indianapolis on race day.
    NUMBER OF WEEKS: 15 weeks (July 17-October 28) RACE DETAILS: Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon, October 28, 2023 Please note: In order to make this a successful program, we need a minimum of 25 protege athletes (in both the half marathon and marathon combined) to register by June 21.

  • Part of our 6-Word Stories Collection, this tale tugs are our hearts because it's so dang true: Somewhere in a run or race, running morphs from a physical activity to one that captures your spirit and soul. And when the going gets rough, sometimes it's that other "element" that carries you to the end. As with many of our tops, we offer this tee in sizes XS-4XL. Size Chart
  • Part of our 6-Word Stories Collection, this story speaks volumes: It hits at the very core of why we run.
