About the Second Wind Christie Clinic Illinois Race Weekend
This is a structured half-marathon training program based in Champaign, built around the local race weekend in spring. It runs for several weeks and splits participants into two levels: one for newer runners still finding their footing with the half-marathon distance, and one for those who have run a few and want to get faster. Experienced pacers run alongside the group each week.
Group runs happen on weekend mornings with planned routes. Membership in Second Wind Running Club is required to join. There is a nuts-and-bolts session the week before race weekend and a party the week after.
