What to Expect Once a month, from now until race week, you will receive your #road2CIM newsletters with vital information pertaining to your race experience. Please read carefully as these emails will help prepare you and give you important details for your best experience at the 2025 CIM. Information to be looking for in upcoming newsletters
Some newsletters will require action from you, so be sure to read each one! Schedule of Upcoming #road2CIM Events
New important dates will be listed in the next newsletter so please stay tuned. Your Journey Kit! Running a marathon is more than just the race. The race is the endpoint of your goal, but we believe the journey to get there is just as important. We call this journey the #Road2CIM. On this journey towards CIM, we have carefully created an interactive kit to help you navigate your training. Like a GPS, we’ll guide you through multiple stops to reach your final destination at the CIM starting line. Our first stop on your Road2CIM is Marathon Training Resources! Click here to explore your Journey Kit! |
