The Louisville Distance Project is the most comprehensive training program that Louisville has to offer. By partnering with local health and fitness professionals, product vendors, skillful coaches, LDP Mentors, and local race organizers, our program provides an unparalleled training experience. Whether you're a seasoned half- or full-marathoner or first time participant looking to do either the Urban Bourbon Half Marathon, Indy Monumental, or the Louisville Marathon, these groups are designed to help meet your needs as you crush your goals and this community is open to runners and walkers of ALL paces. We will be training for the Urban Bourbon Half Marathon on October 14, 2023 and the Indianapolis Monumental Full Marathon taking place on October 28, 2023. 

Fall training starts on Monday, July 10, at 6:00 PM.

Thereafter, and for the duration of the 14-16 week training season, this group will meet every Monday and Wednesday at 6:00 PM as well as Saturdays at 7:00 AM. 

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THIS GROUP IS RIGHT FOR YOU? You should be comfortable running at least a 3 mile distance to begin the half marathon program, and a 6 mile distance for the full marathon program. If you can run, run/walk, or walk one of those distances to start, then you can participate in this group. If you can't, don't worry! We also have 5k and 10k programs as well, which will take place later this fall.

The cost of the program is $110. Program benefits include:

• Weekly workouts with mapped courses

• Experienced Coaches and Mentors to assist and guide you throughout the season

• Three group workouts per week and an accompanying training schedule for other days

• One off-site workout per week focused on building speed and Vo2Max
