BRRC Spring 2026 Long Run/Half Marathon Training Group

Come join our RRCA certified coaches as we launch our Spring Half Marathon Training Program, with the goal race of the Frederick Half Marathon on May 3, 2026. Whether you plan to do this race or have other running goals this Spring, join us for a FREE organized series of speedwork and longer runs. We do hope you will become a member of the Baltimore Road Runners Club (BRRC), but all are welcome. Note that registration for the Frederick Half Marathon is NOT included, and you are encouraged to sign up if you plan this as a goal race.

As an added bonus, the training group will continue with a bridge training plan to keep you race ready for the Baltimore 10 Miler on June 6, 2026. That’s like getting two training plans for the price of none!

Half Marathon Training Group Details:

This is a great group for first time half marathoners as well as experienced runners who are looking to improve their race time.  It is also a great way to get involved with the club and meet other runners in our community.

Registration is FREE.

FAQ:

What if I am not able to attend every workout?
That’s ok! No one is taking attendance.  Your schedule only allows you to come for track night? Great, come for track night! Your schedule only allows you to show up every other Saturday? We don’t mind.  Come when you can. 

Do I have to sign up via the RunSignUp link?
No, you do not need to be a registered group member to show up.  BUT, if you sign up using the link provided it will be easier to stay updated on group news.  The training plan will be distributed using the registrant list.  We also send emails about cancellations, changes in location, and general news.

Do I have to be a BRRC member to join the training group?
No, but why wouldn’t you want to be a member?  For only $24 a year ($30 for a family), you can get access to many free races, fun runs, track meets, and more. Plus, you get to be a part of this great running community that we have in Baltimore. So while you technically don’t need to be a member to train with us, we highly recommend it.  Join here.
