• Within a group setting, a personalized training program experience; with a focus on appropriate progression, safety, and mental preparation.
• On-course training runs to prepare you for the big day in a MEASURED way to reduce risk of injury or burnout.
• Opportunities to attend educational clinics relevant to your Blue Ridge 2026 journey (in person and/or virtual)
