Red Coyote Fall 2026 Half/Full Marathon Training Program 2026

Description

Red Coyote’s Half/Full Marathon Training Program is designed to help you train for the Prairie Line Half Marathon on Sunday, November 15th, the Salina Crossroads Marathon on Saturday, November 7th and the Route 66 Half/Full Marathon in Tulsa on Sunday, November 22nd! All abilities are welcome. Whether you're a runner/walker attempting your first endurance event or you're shooting for a new PR, there's a place for you in our Pack. Walking pace groups are exclusive to the Half Marathon distance due to the race time cut off.

In our Red Coyote program, we think sharing the training journey with friends working to achieve a common goal is the best part and makes every run more fun! We'll help you achieve your goal safely by a gradual and strategic increase in your training mileage. We give instruction on proper hydration, nutrition, injury prevention, running form, training principles, as well as other areas to help you have a successful race. We have over 50 experienced pace group coaches who will support you and keep you motivated! If you have friends you would like to invite, please send them the registration link and not the link to the Facebook page. Although this is a free program, you must be officially registered to be granted access to the Facebook page.

REGISTRATION & COST

Our program is FREE this season. You will have the option to purchase a training shirt for $20.00 during registration but it is not required. Shirts will be ordered and printed once registration closes on August 25th and will be distributed about midway through the training cycle. Red Coyote will only order the amount pre-purchased so if you'd like one, order now, they won't be for sale at a later date. We may have some people who participate from out of town virtually. If you'd like your shirt mailed to you, we're happy to do so for a $10.00 shipping fee. Any shirts that haven't been picked up 14 days after the program concludes will be donated to one of our charity partners. The welcome email, training handbook and link to the Facebook page will be sent out in mid July a couple weeks prior to the start of training.
