The Road to Boston Starts Here in San Diego with SDTC's Boston+ Training Program
Qualifying and being accepted into the Boston Marathon is an amazing accomplishment! But the road to Boston starts right here in San Diego. If you've registered and been accepted into the Boston Marathon, why not train with San Diego Track Club's program tailored for Boston-bound runners?!
2026 is your year. Whether it’s your first time running Boston or you could run the course with your eyes closed, this is your opportunity to show yourself how well you can run it. Registration for SDTC’s Boston+ Training Group opens October 1, 2025. We are excited to welcome back our athletes from last year and to get to know our new friends.
What's Included in the Boston+ Training Program?
This year’s training program will kick-off on November 15, 2025 and spans the 22 weeks you’ve come to expect from SDTC. We are continuing new additions we made to the program in the past two years:
- A monthly 16-point Injury Prevention Screen
- Guided Pre-Long Run Injury Prevention
- Dynamic Warm-Ups that improve: Range of Motion, Musculoskeletal conditioning, Tendon preparation, Muscle activation, Running technique/Foot strike
- Discounts on therapy and training at Novos Limited Edition
- Custom Training T-shirt Long Run Aid Station Support
- Boston Send-off Dinner/Race Review
- Prepaid entry into one local event that’s incorporated into your training schedule
PLUS! You'll have the option to add-on affordable strength and conditioning program and/or a nutrition program to your registration. The strength program is 6 months long and customized for distance runners. The nutrition program is individualized for your body (gender, age, height, weight) and training intensity. This year, your optional strength and conditioning program will be housed on our Novos training app. You will have the benefit of data tracking your workouts, as well as your training subjectives. Our app includes in-app messaging with your coaches. If you have a question that can’t wait for the next long run, fire it off while you train.
Running Tokyo or London Marathon in 2026?
We are also formally opening this group to athletes running in other spring marathons. If you have a Boston qualifying time, or are running under four hours, and are training for another spring World Major Marathon (i.e. Tokyo or London) we would love to have you train with us this year. If you are unsure if you should train with the Boston+ group, please reach out!
