FIT Ft. Lauderdale Presented by Baptist Health South Florida

The Friends In Training (FIT) Marathon and Half Marathon Training Programs are based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and are designed to get YOU to the finish line!

Our programs are designed to give you the knowledge and experience required to not only reach a marathon or half marathon finish line, but to also make running or walking a permanent part of your lifestyle. During your training, you will undoubtedly become stronger, both physically and mentally and the benefits will carry over into all aspects of your life. In addition, you will have the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends!

A basic guideline for our training groups is as follows:  

Please select your pace training group (you must be able to run at a comfortable pace and be able to keep a conversation in the group you select)

We meet on Saturday mornings at George English Park in Ft Lauderdale. The meeting times vary according to group pace and distance scheduled. Our training runs are followed by a group stretching session and a 20 to 30 minute seminar. (We are usually done by 8:30 am)
