Working with our coach, Don Dechow (

or learn a combination run/walk technique called the Galloway method. Either
way, we will help you cross the finish line injury free.

also working on organizing group runs in Maryland. The Saturday runs start
on June 7 and continues until the marathon in October. The training for the
10k will start on September 6 and continue every Saturday until the marathon
in October. You are not required

raising, nutrition, and running shoes. Benefits to team members also
include: a summer picnic, pre-marathon pasta party, and awards party. Please
