About the race
Students on the GO! is a school-based training program for high school students that prepares participants for either a half marathon or a 10K over a 20 week schedule. The program is open to students of varying experience and focuses on teaching how to train properly for the chosen distance and on goal setting.
Training plans are written by GO! St. Louis coaching staff and the coaches work with each school coordinator to determine the best plan for each student. The program culminates in entry into the half marathon or 10K race. Participants receive a finisher jacket or hooded sweatshirt, running shoes, and race entry; the program also lists a free pair of running shoes and a free entry into an additional race among its perks. Students join the program through their school group and communicate through their school SOTG program while the school provides a coordinator for the team.
Program components include:
- Half marathon (13.1 Miles)
- 10K
- 20 week training program with coached plans
- Gear and race entry for participants
- Opportunities for group runs in Tower Grove and Forest Park
