2026 USA FIT Houston's Winter Training Programs

COME ON OUT!

USA FIT Houston’s Winter 2026 Season is a 27-week program designed to get a beginning 'walker' or an experienced "runner" ready to finish a 5K, 10K, Half and Full Marathon race. 

The program will take place from July 18, 2026 through January 20, 2027, with the Chevron Full Marathon and Aramco Half Marathon events scheduled as the goal race on Sunday, January 19, 2027. 

WHO SHOULD JOIN? 

USA FIT Houston is ideal for anyone looking to challenge themselves, improve their fitness, build strength and stamina, make new friends, enhance their appearance and well-being, or simply embrace the healthy lifestyle of running or walking.  People of all fitness levels are welcome, whether you're a beginner or an experienced runner.

Our beginner program gradually helps walkers become runners in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. For those aiming for a 5k, 10k, Half or Full Marathon, our programs guide runners in setting realistic goals and provide pace groups to teach them how to pace themselves effectively to reach those goals. 

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE FEE? 

The fee covers a 2026 technical fabric program shirt, group workouts and coaching, personalized training plans, access to discussion boards on our Facebook and Instagram pages, a sense of camaraderie, exclusive discounts at our local partners and sponsors, social events, and more!  Runners of all levels, from beginners to seasoned marathoners, receive plenty of individual support, guidance, and tailored plans to help them achieve their specific goals.

HOW MUCH TRAINING DOES THIS PROGRAM REQUIRE? 

Understanding that most people have busy lives, this program is designed to fit easily into your schedule. It requires only 4 runs per week: a group run every Saturday morning and 3 additional runs that can be completed at your convenience, with several mid-week group runs available as well. 

WHAT HAPPENS ON ANY GIVEN SATURDAY? 

Each Saturday we will meet at various times depending on the distance, and at Memorial Park by the swimming pool.   We begin with a brief gathering session, followed by smaller group meetups where you can chat with coaches, ask questions, and make plans for the upcoming week. Afterwards, we head out for our scheduled group run. With a variety of paces in our group, you'll always find others running at your pace, making the experience more enjoyable. Of course, you're welcome to run solo if you prefer.
