About the Sports Backers Marathon Training Team
This is a marathon training program built around group long runs, not a standalone race. Coached weekend runs come with roving support along the route, carrying water, electrolytes, and fuel so you are not hauling your own. The program runs through the full build to the Richmond Marathon, and the team aspect is genuine; people show up week after week together.
