About this race

Welcome to the SacFit Marathon Training Program!

Thank you for your considering Sacfit as your marathon training program. We're glad you dropped in. Whether you're looking for first or fastest marathon finish, or any marathon goal in between, we have a program just for you.

One-stop Training

  • Comprehensive Approach: We are a full-service program that covers all facets of your training journey.
  • Tailored Programs: We start with tailoring a training program specifically to your individual needs and goals.
  • Experienced Coaching: Our knowledgeable coaching staff train with you and your teammates.
  • Educational Seminars: We provide seminars to enhance your understanding of running form, hydration, nutrition, and more.

No Training Alone

Since our start in 2006, Sacfit has committed to a training philosophy that incorporates community and social interaction as part of its approach toward marathon training. The Sacfit "family," as many refer to the team, provides a supportive and socially vibrant environment that serves to strengthen personal accountability and motivate consistent workout attendance, the sum of which ultimately contributes to successful athletic achievement.

Results You Can Count On

Looking to qualify for Boston? Run a sub-4 hour marathon? Or is a marathon finish on your bucket list. Whatever goals you have, Sacfit has a training program to provide you all the challenge you want to get you to the goals you've set.

Program Details

Our 26-week Marathon training program is broken up into weekly segments, each segment consisting of five workout days.

  • Monday: A timed active recovery workout of shorter duration.
  • Tuesday: A track, hill repeat, or stair-lunge workout.
  • Wednesday: Another recovery workout of moderate distance.
  • Thursday: A tempo, race-pace, or longer mileage workout.

Saturday morning workouts are the longest of the week where the entire team and coaching staff meet at the same location. This workout includes coach-led pace groups, post-workout strength and stretching stations, and an occasional raffle!

Our 2026 Summer/Fall Marathon Training provides an opportunity for runners to participate in shorter-distance local events leading up to the CIM, including the 10-Mile Buffalo Stampede and Migration and Urban Cow Half Marathon!

Coach-led Pace Groups

To help you further attain your goal and enhance your workout experience, our staff of over 30 experienced and knowledgeable coaches actually train with you - something no other training group offers.

Post-workout Strength and Stretching

To complete the triad of fitness, we add Strength and Stretching to your Aerobics. This includes providing strength and stretching stations and equipment after your long workout.

CIM Start-line VIP Indoor Lounge

Sacfit provides an incredible indoor facility across the street from the CIM pre-race start line, allowing you to focus on your final pre-race preparations.

Aid Stations - Second to None

Part of any safe and sensible training program includes aid stations for longer workouts. Sacfit aid stations are famous along the Parkway for their variety of replenishment nutrition and ice-chilled water.

Program Features and Amenities

Sacfit provides a comprehensive training experience that extends beyond a workout schedule.

  • Tech-fiber team jersey: Receive a high-quality team jersey.
  • Sacfit App: Access to your training schedule through our app.
  • Private social media group: Connect with teammates in a platform independent of Facebook.
  • 20-mile point-to-point workout: Includes a free bus trip.
