Asheville Citizen-Times Half Marathon Training Program 2011 – Downtown YMCA

This is a great training program held on Wednesdays at 6 PM and Saturdays at 8 AM. It’s free and you don’t need to sign up. Just show up and run. I’ve done some of the Saturday sessions last year and this year and they’re great.

Here is the schedule:
