Peninsula Runners Langley Fall 2026 Half and Full Marathon run group AKA the 301 group meets twice a week on Saturday mornings and also Wednesday nights. The first Saturday being June 20th and the first Wednesday is June 17th, 2026. This session is geared towards the Royal Victoria Half and Full Marathon on October 11, 2026. We will help get you to the starting line ready and eager to finish strongly. Peninsula Runners has been successfully running run groups since we first opened in 2001. Everyone is welcome to join us!

Long runs are Saturday at 7 AM (7.30 AM for the first six weeks) while the Wednesday workouts start at either 5.15 or 6.00 PM. Wednesdays are key workouts to help you become a stronger more complete runner. You should be able to run at least 40 minutes for the half or 60 minutes for the marathon before the first long run.

FYI we also have a power walking group heading out on Saturdays for those who prefer to walk either a 10 K or a half marathon.

Cost of the program is $100 for the fall (or ask at the store about our yearly option). This includes both weekly runs and also a 15% discount on purchases at the store. You will receive two weekly emails from the store and a program outline to help guide you through the program. All runners will receive a Pen Runners shirt to run in.

Running can be challenging and fun at the same time. One of the keys to running with a group like this is that you have others to run with and help you stay motivated and get a little more out of yourself. Our goal is to help prepare you to enjoy running and to finish your goal race.
