CTC Women’s Four Miler Training Program
Now in its 15th year, the CTC Women’s Four Miler Training
Program invites women ages 10 and older to participate
in 12 consecutive Saturdays of group training and coaching. Previous
running experience is not necessary and walkers are welcome! This
established program prepares you to run (or walk) in the Charlottesville
Women’s Four Miler Race. Each week,
experts provide information on women’s health and fitness. Great running
information and tips included with your training program registration.
CTC Men’s Four Miler Training Program
Now
in its 5th year, the CTC Men’s Four Miler Training Program
(M4MTP) is a 10 week professionally supervised
and coached program designed to help guide men to a healthier
lifestyle and a new level of fitness. The short-term goal is the
successful completion of the Charlottesville Men’s Four Miler foot
race held early in December of each year. However, the long-term
goal is to encourage men to take up regular exercise as part of an
overall healthy lifestyle. The training includes short weekly talks
on proper running, various health issues facing men, and
professionally coached training runs appropriate to all levels of
fitness. The program normally starts the first Saturday of October.
CTC
Marathon and ½ Marathon Training Program
Since 1994, The Charlottesville Track Club
has guided
1,150 runners to a safe completion of a fall marathon or
half-marathon of their choice. The program is designed to properly
prepare runners of all abilities to complete their first long
distance race or to improve on a previous effort. Each
participant receives a personalized program tailored to match
their individual needs, abilities and specific goals. The program is
supervised by a coach, who has over 25 years of experience and each
individual will be able to consult with this coach (for specific and
personal concerns) throughout the training program.

Ten Miler Training Program
On
November 3rd,
the club will kick off its
20th annual
training program for the area’s granddaddy of them all, the
Charlottesville
Ten Miler. With
the help of my great assistant Vickie Marsh and the wonderful
volunteer services of 45 CTC Saturday morning “captains”, we
have to once again guide close to 350 folks to their individual
Ten Miler goals. The group will meet every
Saturday at 8:15AM
at the UVA track throughout the Fall and Winter for a long run.
Like in past years, we will break the trainers into 4 different
program levels (based on folks individual current training
regimens). Anyone is welcome to join us on any given Saturday.
Come see for yourself what 3,400
folks have had fun with during the winter over the past two
decades!
CTC
Point Series
Runners
receive points for participating in the CTC sponsored races. If the runner
places then he or she gets more points, on a descending scale, with eight
points being the base that anyone who participates will get. So for
example if a runner comes in first in his or her age group, he or she will
get 18 points; second, 17 points, etc. The point series rewards those
runners who may not necessarily be the fastest, but are persistent in
running in the races. Also, only track club members are counted in terms
of figuring out places.
We
only track runners who have requested to be tracked.
If you wish to be tracked contact the CTC
Point Series Master!
