Guenther said the Marathon Training Program is underway with 67 participants, including three coaches. The group, which is divided up into beginner, intermediate and advanced groups, meets for a long run on Saturdays and will start to meet Wednesday nights for a track workout. Volunteers are needed for coaching and for water stops on the long runs. Grant reported that 50 to 60 people attended the club’s Wednesday track workout. So far, the club has received no bills for the lights at the track, Grant said. Ian Clements reported that about 35 people attended the Saturday Long Run last weekend.
