United Healthcare North Carolina Marathon Running Schools

 

It’s amazing. Millions of Americans participate in running events every year. Why? They are challenging and fun! Equally amazing is that many runners who participate in running events often train unguided. The first goals of any participant should be to safely train for an event and finish it strong. During your UHC NC Marathon Running School---Marathon, ½ Marathon or 5K--- we help you take on the challenge under the guidance of a professional Running Coach and the support of a group of fellow runners. Come run with us!

 

Our Coaches and Leaders

We are runners. We are certified trainers. Our mission as coaches and leaders for the UHC NC Marathon Running Schools is to provide guidance, support, and encouragement—every step of your course. We’ll work to assure that you safely achieve your training goals and have a positive, memorable experience.

 

Why a Running Coach? A good running coach (or any fitness coach) should be, at the least, educated and certified through a reputable fitness organization and therefore qualified to assess your fitness level, set up a program for you, guide you to reach your goals and keep you motivated.  He or she will push you to do your absolute best---something you may not do on your own.
