Hello Friends!
We have a lot of new, intermediate, and seasoned runners coming into our doors to prepare for the Broad Street Run. Team Philly is a great resource to bring into your training program.
What is Team Philly?
Team Philly Race Training was created to support the Philadelphia area’s beginner to intermediate runners in their aspirations of improving their running and living healthier lives. Powered by Philadelphia Runner and The Rothman Institute, this comprehensive and unparalleled program includes: run coaching, daily training plans, group runs, and workshops to prepare you for race day. We are celebrating our 15th Anniversary this year! Our Spring Season kicks off Saturday, February 22nd, 8am, at Philadelphia Runner Center City, 1711 Walnut Street. This Spring Season we will be training for Broad Street and Philly Run Fest.
Is this really for beginners? Yes. Our first long run is 2 miles for beginners and the training plan gradually increases the distance to have everyone ready to run Broad Street.
We will also be having a Beginner's Mile on Saturday, February 15th, 9am, at Philadelphia Runner Center City, for folks that are looking to start or restart running. Are you interested in running the Broad Street Run, but you've never even run a mile before? Do you want to check out Team Philly's training before signing up? Unsure where to start on your running journey?
BAM! Our Beginner's Mile is for first time runners – whether you've never run a mile in your life or are coming back to running after taking time off – to run, walk, or run/walk the first mile of (hopefully) many.
We have all pace groups and mentors from 8 minutes and under through run/walk. We also have other distance options for more seasoned runners.
What does membership include? Team Philly Tech T–Shirt, Team Philly discount and team shopping days at Philadelphia Runner each season, weekly newsletter during training, Training Kick–off and Finisher's Celebration Parties, weekly group runs, and supported Saturday long runs during training. This is in addition to a training plan for the Broad Street Run (Spring Season), Philly Run Fest (Spring Season), The Philly 10K (Fall Season), Philadelphia Distance Run (Fall Season), and Philadelphia Marathon or Half Marathon (Fall Season).
Price? Depends! $125 for the Spring Season. We also have Full–Year and Fall Season options. Please note membership does not include race registrations. You must register for the races separately. Please CLICK HERE for more information.
When/Where do we meet? Wednesday workouts are at Philadelphia Runner Center City, 6pm. On Saturdays, other than The Kickoff, we meet at Lloyd Hall, 8am, for the long runs. Please stay tuned to Team Philly's Instagram (@teamphillyruns) and Philly Runner's (@phillyrun) as the Wednesday workouts may revert back to Philadelphia Runner University City when that location reopens.
