The 'Fall Adult Full half marathon Marathon Training Evening' in Apex, North Carolina,

is not a single race but a 16-week group training program in which the local running community prepares together for a full-distance race.

Organized by Triangle Run Smart Training and supported by pace Yourself Run Company and The Running PTs,

the program has become one of the signature offerings of the North Carolina 'Triangle' running scene spanning Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill.

The program welcomes participants of all pace levels, from first-time marathoners to experienced runners aiming for a personal best.

A daily training plan is provided throughout the 16 weeks, with two coach-led weekday group runs on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m.,

plus a Saturday morning long run from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. Cross-training and strength-training guidance are also included,

creating a structure focused not on training alone but on reaching the finish line alongside familiar training partners each week.

Training venues rotate among parks and trails in Apex and Cary, including Hunter Street Park, Apex Nature Park,

Mills Park Middle School track, the Koka Booth/Symphony Lake Greenway, Apex Community Park, Ritter Park, and the American Tobacco Trail.

Rather than repeatedly using a single course, the program rotates around the local area,

reflecting its focus on connecting runners with the wider community running ecosystem rather than only pursuing an individual finish time.

Stations & transport near the venue

Getting to the start

Information unavailable — this is a recurring evening training program, not a single race, and it rotates among several parks, so there is no single fixed start venue or nearby station.

Stations & transport near the venue

This entry is a 16-week group training program (Mon/Wed evenings + Sat long runs),

not a single-day race with a fixed venue, so there is no dedicated transit info to give.

The Apex/Cary area is car-dependent suburban Raleigh;

GoTriangle buses exist on main corridors but do not reliably serve these park lots, so a personal car or rideshare is effectively required for participants.
