Our Goal AT TEENS RUN SLC
Provide a 15 week training program for students beginning January 1, 2024, with the aim being to run the SLC Half Marathon on Saturday, April 20th. Students will receive a training t-shirt, free entry into the race, and one pair of running shoes from Teens Run SLC, as well as the additional swag provided by the half marathon. Students who successfully complete the program can apply for the half marathon program or a full marathon program for 2025.
