Been thinking about running the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon? Come to an informational meeting.
This spring, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago will debut a new marathon training program that will raise needed funds for HIV/AIDS services throughout the city. The National AIDS Marathon Training Program, produced by Walk-The-Talk Productions, is geared toward both beginners and experienced runners alike.
Developed by Olympic athlete and world-renowned marathon trainer Jeff Galloway, the training program combines both running and walking to prepare participants to go the 26.2-mile distance. Program staff and professional coaches will host weekend training runs at five sites throughout the city and suburbs that will also include comprehensive information on nutrition, gear, and exercise.
In exchange for the specialized training and support, participants raise funds to benefit prevention and care services funded through the AIDS Foundation of Chicago's grant making program. Informational Meetings Will be Held: John Merlo Branch Library 644 W. Belmont Ave. (just west of Broadway) March 20, March 25 7-8 p.m. or visit www.aidsmarathon.com/learnchi.htm or call (312) 765-0210.
