Training for a full or half marathon?
 
Come Join Us. 
 
The Olathe Running Club will be organizing an 18 week training program starting in June to prepare local runners for their Fall marathons.  We will be offering interval training on Wednesday evenings and longer group runs on Saturday mornings.  This is a fantastic way to meet fellow runners and to prepare yourself for a marathon.  Please contact us with any questions Jason Gregg

I invite you to come join us today!

The Olathe Running Club has been a dedicated organization in the community for the last 30 years.  We are a close circle of friends and runners who promote fitness and health. Our experience levels of runners include:
 
Walkers
Novice Runners (never have run before)
Intermediate Runners (5K, 10K, first time marathoners, half marathons)
Advanced runners (several marathons, triathlons)
 
In order to keep our runners running together we hold two weekly runs - Wednesday nights at 6:30 and Saturday mornings at 7:00.  After our runs we enjoy camaraderie at local restaurants.  It's a great way to promote fitness and make new acquaintances at the same time.
 
In 2009 we started our Olathe Running Club marathon training program where several members trained for their first marathon by implementing our Saturday morning runs and even training at a local high school track. We are looking forward to offering this program again in 2010.
 
Please contact us if you are considering taking your fitness to the next level and would like to meet fellow runners in Olathe who share the same goals that you do. We look forward to running with you.
