This national training program was developed and produced by US Olympian Jeff Galloway, who has been involved with training programs in the US since 1978. The program is open to anyone who is interested in fulfilling a lifetime goal: to run a marathon, half marathon, 10K, or just get started. We welcome all levels, from beginners to Boston qualifiers. Pace groups are set up to ensure a comfortable and safe training pace for every ability.
Jeff's unique low-mileage run-walk program makes it possible for anyone to experience the feeling of completing their goal. If a marathon is your goal and you can currently run/walk three miles, we'll get you to the start line in six months. And if you're a more experienced runner, we'll help you safely increase your speed and distance to run at your highest potential. If you're a beginner, we'll show you how to get started with a safe fitness program and maintain your fitness level. The simplicity and wisdom of the program reflect Jeff's motto: Run Injury Free.
The key to the training is the Saturday long run, when you'll be running with the a group at a comfortable pace that is appropriate for you. You'll have a group leader to help guide you, keep you motivated, and be sure you're having fun. And it works! The Galloway Program boasts a 98% success rate in more than 40 cities across the nation. What's more important is that we'll be supporting each other, having a great time, and sharing what is a truly life-changing experience.
Come meet with us for a free test run. We meet every Saturday year-round at a location convenient for those living in both Salt Lake and Utah Counties.

Hydrating properly is absolutely essential to keeping you fluid throughout your many athletic endeavors; from trail to road to water. Proper hydration also inspires greater comfort and enjoyment along the way. There can be gain without the pain after all! Dehydration of even 2-3% can slow you down, and dehydration and sodium loss are also the number one cause of cramping, so you’ll need to replace 16-24oz of fluid for every pound lost to help avoid this. Consuming consistent amounts of sodium every hour can help replace sodium losses in sweat. Simple investment - HUGE payoff!
SHOT BLOKS are best to consume15-30 minutes prior to activity, and then every 20-30 minutes during activity. Three (3) of those yummy BLOKS are considered one (1) serving, but it’s really up to you how many you eat. They’re conveniently portioned to provide personalized pop’ability! Electrolyte Chews help increase blood sugar levels and maintain even energy levels. Prolong performance - avoid the crash. Keep in mind that Bloks will affect your blood sugar levels more slowly than gel since they are semi-solid, so it’s best to follow up with a swig of water. BLOK on and enjoy the St. George Marathon!
