Marathon Build Up Program -- No Sign Up Necessary

Get ready to hit the ground running with our free marathon buildup program, perfectly timed for the Lakefront Marathon and other fall marathons or half marathons. Embark on a journey that progresses from a comfortable 6-mile start and stretches across 12-13 weeks, peaking at an impressive 22 miles—with just a manageable two-mile increase each week. This program is crafted and brought to life by the dedication and enthusiasm of our amazing volunteers. However, we're always on the lookout for more helping hands to set up and staff aid stations to support our runners. Join us—lend your time and become a part of the excitement behind every mile conquered!
