Marathon. A long, long way to run.

Santa Cruz Endurance Spring Marathon Project is coming to its exciting conclusion. Members have been teaming up with each other logging epic miles in preparation for three main target races coming up in the next month. A straw poll of members two weekends ago showed long runs totaling over 250 miles for the team. Running coach Aaron Jacobsen provided expert advice at interval training on Thursday nights and team long runs on Sundays.
