Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is attendance at all workouts mandatory?
A: No, but you know you’ll be glad you came.
Q: When and where are the workouts?
A: Our group workouts are Saturday mornings at 8:00 a.m. at various locations around Boise.
Q: Does it cost anything to participate?
A: Right now the program is free. We will change to a fee based program starting Feb 16th. The cost to join is $79 for 4-5 months of a coached based running program.
Q: Can I get a refund for the program?
A: We do have a 2 week trial period. If you sign up and decide for any reason you don't want to participate, we will give you a full refund. After 2 weeks we will not issue a refund for any reason.
Q: I see there are 5 races throughout the season. Do I need to do all 5 to participate in the program?
A: Absolutely not. We have chosen these races because they fit in well with the ultimate goal of the Great Potato Full and 1/2 Marathon. All the other races before this is to help you get practice in a race environment. We encourage participation yet are aware many will not make all 5 races.
Q: Robie Creek is a hard 1/2 marathon. Will I be ready to race this by April 19th?
A: Robie Creek is a very hard 1/2 marathon. We do not expect everyone to attempt this race for that reason. If you are training for the Great Potato full marathon, you may want to do this race. Either way, we see this race as a practice for your big race and should be done at an easy training pace. Beginners could walk the course. It is good practice to see how 13.1 miles feels on your feet.
Q: Where are the workout locations?
A: The team meets at varies locations around Boise. You can check out the calendar to get the details for this week.
Q: How will I be notified of team events, training session changes or weather cancellations?
A: Once you are signed up on the team, you are automatically added to the current training session’s email list. Please check your email regularly. We will use the web site and email to communicate to you about the training. If you do not have access to email, you can call our store to get up to date info 208-338-5263.
Q: Are race registrations included in my training fee?
A: No. You will have to purchase your own race registrations for all events. We will notify you if discounts apply for our team as soon as you register to train with us. Most of these races, with the exception of Robie Creek, will not sell out.
