2026 Winter/Spring Ultra Marathon Combo Program

Sacfit Ultra Runners, a nonprofit 501c3 trail running club, is celebrating it's 15th season and has the distinction as the first and oldest ultra marathon training team in the region!

We have trained hundreds of advanced, intermediate, and beginning runners to successful finishes in myriad trail races ranging from half marathon distances to 100+ miles.

We combine an atmosphere of fun and social team building with a serious and challenging training program, all under the auspices of expert personalized coaching and comprehensive resources.

The Combo Ultra training program is our newest offering and is designed for those trail runners who want to or are already running with one or more informal trail groups, but would like to complement their training on occasion with a more structured workout, expert coaching guidance, and unique workout/social amenities offered by Sacfit Ultra.

The bulk of the weekend workouts are on Saturday, with a few reserved for Sundays. The midweek workouts focus on shorter and moderate length mileages, strength training, and specialized workouts to round out a typical training week.

Participants of this program are not eligible to qualify for the Sacfit Ultra sponsor spot for Western States. If that amenity is of interest, please join the Ultra Full Program.

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS

Point-to-point Workouts

Tired of out-and-back workouts where you only gain experience and training on half the route or course in a given workout, and/or spending extra non-workout hours carpooling back and forth? With our new luxurious passenger transport vehicle, Sacfit Ultra Runners offers several point-to-point workouts to maximize your workouts and familiarity with all the courses of the races you're training for, not to mention enhancing the terrain variety. Sacfit Ultra Runners is the only Ultra-marathon training program in the region to offer this feature.

Custom Training Platform

Connect your Garmin, Strava, or other tracking devices or software to the Sacfit Ultra Runners App and consolidate all your training stats for your own review or consult with your coach. Also, you have your whole-season schedule at your fingertips. But that's where the similarities to other training apps ends!

Unique features to the Sacfit Ultra App include voice-navigated routes for various weekend long routes and mid-week routes (no more getting lost); written and video articles detailing specialized workouts and related training information, and a private social group (no need to have a FB account) to name a few. This app is the most comprehensive training app out there, bar none.

Our next workout is our Cronan Ranch to Falcon Crest Point-to-Point. We meet at Monte Vista parking lot for our luxury van departure.

The training program is tailored toward various Winter and Spring ultra marathon events, including the American River 25, Salmon Falls 50K, Way Too Cool 50K, Fourmidable races, American River 50-mile, Sonoma 50K and 100K, Miwok 100K, and Canyons 100K.

SACFIT ULTRA MARATHON TRAINING PROGRAM

Overview

The Combo program is designed for a broad spectrum of trail-runner abilities from intermediate and advanced road runners looking to train for her or his first Ultra Marathon to seasoned trail runners wanting to improve upon particular trail running techniques, strategy, pace, and/or race time goals, including qualifying for and racing the Western States 100-mile Endurance Run event.

Welcome to SacFit's Intermediate & Advanced Half Marathon Training Program!

Let's Get Ready for the New Year!

At Sacfit, we meld expert coaching and premiere resource tools with fun and friendship to create a rewarding, inspirational, and successful training program unlike any other in the region.

No Training Alone

Since our start in 2006, Sacfit has committed to a training philosophy that incorporates community and social interaction as part of its approach toward half marathon training. The Sacfit "family" as many refer to the team, provides a supportive and socially vibrant environment that serves to strengthen personal accountability and motivate consistent workout attendance, the sum of which ultimately contributes to successful athletic achievement.

We animate this aspect of our training philosophy throughout your entire workout experience by providing coaches and pace groups that train with you for every mile - each and every week. In this way, the bonding through shared experience builds life-long friends and keeps the fun going from workout start to finish.

Results You Can Count On

Looking to run a 90-minute half marathon? Or maybe a sub 2-hour half marathon? Half Marathon finish on your bucket list? Whatever goals you have, Sacfit has a training program to provide you all the challenge you want to get you to the goals you've set.

Our training program incorporates science-based and best-practices training and techniques that have been time-tested and proven effective for thousands of our members over the past 20 years. Sacfit's training program has afforded its team members a success rate of over 99% in achieving their respective goals.

So no matter what your half marathon goal, we have a program and supportive team just for you! See below for additional program features and information.

--- Program Details:

Our 16-week Half Marathon training program is broken up into weekly segments, each segment consisting of three mid-week workouts (Mon, Tues, and Thurs) and a Saturday morning long workout.

• Monday is a timed active recovery workout of shorter duration.

• Tuesday is a track, hill repeat, or stair-lunge workout.

• Thursday is a tempo, race-pace, or longer mileage workout.

• Saturday morning workouts are the longest of the week where the entire team and coaching staff meet at the same location. This workout includes coach-led pace groups consisting of about 10-15 teammates, post-workout strength and stretching stations, and an occasional raffle!

Our 2026 Winter/Spring Half Marathon Training Program is also the official training program for the Parkway Half Marathon. And not only does our program fully prepare you for a successful finish for the Parkway Half Marathon, but it also provides an opportunity for beginning, intermediate, and advanced runners and walkers to train for other Winter and Spring Half Marathons including the Shamrock'n Half Marathon. Additionally, there are shorter-distance local running and walking events during the season to consider!

Finally, all Sacfit training programs offer flexibility because you never know what the future holds! Should you decide you need to adjust your goal later in the season, you can switch to any other Sacfit training program at no additional cost!

Program Features and Amenities

Sacfit's Intermediate and Advanced Half Marathon Training program provides a comprehensive training experience that extends beyond a workout schedule and training information, including:

• Training Program tailored to your individual fitness and goals by way of supervised time trial assessment and regular coach check-ins and consultations.

• Access to the Sacfit Training App which gives you your training schedule, vast running resource articles and videos on your phone or computer.

• Individualized attention at all supervised workouts for real-time feedback during your workout.

• Private social media group to connect with teammates that is NOT tied to Facebook or any other platform, etc.

• Voice-navigation running routes you can download onto your phone or apple watch

• Deep discount entry fee for Parkway Half Marathon

Coach-led Pace Groups

To help you further attain your goal and enhance your workout experience, our staff of over 40 experienced and knowledgeable coaches actually train with you - something no other training group offers. By training with you every mile, your coach is better able to assess and advise you of your running form and technique, breathing, and hydration and nutrition intake, when it counts - during your workout.

No Training Alone

Half Marathon training includes weekend workouts that can extend a couple hours. At Sacfit, we believe that keeping an athlete sharp, focused, and committed to completing those long workouts includes training as a group - not just meeting together prior to the workout, but training as a group for the entire workout.

Sacfit is the only training group that offers pace groups for your long workouts so you always have at least several friends ( and usually more!) along for the ride! And most importantly, you are never left alone on the trail.

Post-workout Strength and Stretching

To complete the triad of fitness, we add Strength and Stretching to your Aerobics. This includes providing strength and stretching stations and equipment after you complete your long workout. We also have supervised yoga and other stretching discipline and strength sessions.

Aid Stations - Second to None

Part of any safe and sensible training program includes aid stations for the longer workouts. Sacfit aid stations are famous along the Parkway and a welcome respite to our longer workouts. We offer a plethora of choices to satiate any palate of special food-diet requirement. And we ALWAYS have ice-chilled water and Gatorade to keep you cool, and ice to fill your water bottles. We also have first-aid kits at every station to keep you safe and moving forward.
