Training

We want to encourage you to train before you get out there to race! In our experience it tends to make for a better race day ;)

Train on your own, in a group or get a personalize program. We support what works best for you and have lots of great options we are proud to share!

During the 12 weeks of training, counting down until race day, we will be sharing the training journey via posts on social media of a few of our favorite people. So, be sure to follow CraftHalf on social media. We invite you to join by posting using #crafthalfintraining.

Half Marathon Training Program

FREE

This FREE program maps out 12 weeks of training.
Two program options are available, Level 1 (beginner or just looking for a guide) and an “experienced" program (half marathon veterans or those wanting more of a challenge).

For the 2025 events the 12 weeks of training will start early January!

*Please note that the program can be adjusted as needed, to suit your individual goals and needs. This is a GUIDE. It is advised you be able to walk, jog, run (in any combination) 3 miles consecutive prior to beginning the training program.
