The flight plan for the Beyond Half Marathon Training Program will be coming soon! The 2020 Training Schedules feature courses from the 2019 session, with a couple changes: we are joining forces with Cereal City Athletics on Week 12, and running part of the BC Half Marathon Course. Another addition for 2020: one of our runs will start from Trinity Lutheran Church. Most flights will leave from the Battle Creek Family YMCA, unless otherwise noted. View the program overview “snapshot” schedules and the weekly training schedules for each of the different training programs. Our training programs follow that of the country’s leading coaches.
