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 every week? 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, but we highly recommend it. 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 occasionally 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 encourage it.
