This weekend in September is another opportunity to kick off or put the final touches on your fall half marathon or full marathon training. Each morning we will have group runs, all designed to be at your own pace. There is absolutely no speed requirement to come, learn and enjoy some fantastic runs. We will have plenty of time for each of our runs for everyone to run the pace appropriate for them.
You will get time to explore downtown Blowing Rock, enjoy the amenities at Chetola, and make the most of your long weekend in the mountains. In this 4 day running vacation we will answer all your questions from nutrition to mileage as well as share some tips on how to mentally and physically prepare yourself in the final weeks before the big day. We pack a lot into a short period of time, but the first-class accommodations at Chetola will make the entire weekend feel like a relaxing getaway.
