Fleet Feet Northern NJ Spring Half Marathon Training Program

Embark on your journey to conquer 13.1 miles with the **Fleet Feet Northern NJ Spring Half Marathon Training Program**, kicking off on January 26, 2026, in Morristown, NJ. This comprehensive program is your starting line for a successful half marathon, providing expert coaching and a supportive community over 14 weeks. Beginning your training in the crisp January air, with typical highs around 40°F and lows near 22°F and a 14% chance of precipitation, you'll build endurance and confidence for your goal race.

This dynamic program specifically prepares you for an unforgettable spring half marathon experience, with a key target being the celebrated Superhero Half Marathon in early May. Renowned for its scenic course and vibrant atmosphere, the Superhero Half Marathon in Morristown offers a unique challenge. Runners navigate a course described in two distinct stages: an initial hilly five-mile stretch followed by a flatter seven-mile segment that winds through the picturesque, shaded, and paved trails of Loantaka Park. While the early miles present "steep, seemingly never-ending hills" for some, the overall 164-meter elevation gain adds to the accomplishment.

The Superhero Half Marathon, established in 2010, is celebrated as one of New Jersey's largest races, known for its fun superhero theme and enthusiastic participants often donning costumes. Aid stations are strategically placed approximately every 2.5 miles, offering water and sports drinks to keep you fueled. Upon crossing the finish line at Ginty Field, you'll be greeted with a large finisher medal, free participant photos, and a lively post-race celebration featuring grilled meats, puffcorn, bananas, granola bars, and soft pretzels. The Fleet Feet program enhances this experience with personalized coaching, running analysis, guest speaker sessions, a Long Run Breakfast Party, and a dedicated post-race celebration, all designed to make your half marathon journey rewarding from start to finish.
