Dual Season Extended Training Program

Is your goal to run a full marathon? Is a traditional 18 week training program not long enough for you? Do you want the extra assurance of sufficient and injury-free training to complete a Full Marathon? Or, do you just love the TVRC running club so much that you want to just keep joining? The Team VAVi Running Club (TVRC) has a program for you!

Team VAVi Running Club has designed a special dual-season training program getting you 32 weeks of training towards the "grand daddy" Rock 'n' Roll Marathon with 2 major local running races in between. The program is designed around the two major San Diego marathons (Carlsbad and Rock 'n' Roll).

NOTE: The Dual Season Program is only available to start
in the Fall/Winter Season (October)
