Marathon
The Marathon Club competes in two full marathons and two half marathons throughout the entire year. Though competing in the races is not required, it is highly encouraged. The Marathon Club is a close group that enables runners to opportunity to meet other athletes and compete in races.
The goal that the club has set up for the runners is to qualify for the Boston Marathon in the Spring. The club has set mileage that is based on preparing for the races. The team has had many accomplishments in last year's competition.
The marathon club is open for everyone and encourages people to see how far and fast the human body can take you.
