| LEAD Strong Half Marathon Saturday, May 2, 2009 Northern Central Railroad Trail Race Start: 9:30 a.m. News and Events Congratulations to the 2009 LEAD Strong Half Marathon winners Jim Smiley & Mary Tuttle! Check out our story on the Alex's Lemonade Stand Blog! LEAD Strong is a half marathon that Towson University Campus Recreation Services hosts every spring as part of CRS’ mission to promote healthy, active lifestyles through involvement on campus. LEAD Strong is a 13.1 mile half-marathon that covers a 6.55 mile stretch (up and back) of the NCR trail in Freeland, MD. We encourage anyone to participate in LEAD Strong, but the event is designed with TU students (specifically those who have never run a half marathon but have always wanted to) in mind. LEAD Strong is about setting and achieving goals, and proving to yourself that you can defy limitations. The race is named LEAD Strong, because it focuses on leadership skills such as having vision, setting goals, being persistent, managing your time, honing your focus, and improving physical fitness in order to reach a specific goal. We welcome runners of all abilities – from beginners to experts – to participate in LEAD Strong. We’ve made the race more accessible for people who have never completed a half marathon by providing a 12-week training program that incorporates running 3x/week, gradually building up mileage and speed, and incorporating other forms of cross-training such as flexibility, core/strength, and cardio workouts a few times a week. We’ll also be organizing running groups, for people who are less inclined to run on their own. Participation in the training program and the running groups are not mandatory, we just offer them to anyone who is interested. More experienced runners, who have already finished one or more half marathons, or one or more full marathons, are also welcome to run LEAD Strong. Seeing how running has made such a positive impact on other people’s lives can be a big motivator for first-timers on race day. Tell Us Your Story
