Destination Marathon/Half 2013 - California International (Dec. 8)

Join Now!
In 2012 we tried something new - encouraging runners to sign up for a race we liked. More than 100 Gazelles took us up on the offer and traveled to the California International Marathon (Sacramento), enjoying a well designed course and the majority turning in personal bests!

For 2013 we're expanding the Destination Marathon to three options: Baltimore (Oct. 13), California International Marathon (Dec. 8) and Napa Valley (March 2, 2014). 

Perks Include:
  • Guaranteed Registration (up to certain date agreed upon with the event)
  • Discount Hotels
  • Coaches Travel With The Group
Are you running your first marathon or half marathon? Trying to qualify for Boston? Want to improve? Join Austin's legendary training group for marathon training the Gazelles way. Runners of all different abilities are welcome to this exciting group dynamic where you'll gain a broad understanding of training philosophy, race strategy, nutrition and more under the guidance of former NCAA champion Gilbert Tuhabonye.

All groups meet downtown and workouts typically last 65-75 minutes, incorporating a variety of intervals, hills, track sessions, fartleks, tempo runs, pace runs, long runs and more!

On Saturdays, all Gazelle groups meet at 6 AM for the long run which feature courses tailored toward preparing you for the marathon. All long runs are fully supported with detailed routes, water/Gatorade every 2-2.5 miles, coaches on-site, and a bonus stretching session afterward.
