Rockin Runners Fitness and Endurance Training

Rock On!!

Congratulations to all the Rockin Runners who completed the Rock & Roll Las Vegas Marathon and Half, I feel like a proud Daddy. It was very exciting watching so many familiar faces cross the finish line. Rockin Runners to date has touched over a 1,000 households. Whether you trained for a charity or for any other reason, I am always reminded of how much fun race day is. I see the friendships that were forged and I see the smiles and tears that show all your hard work was well worth the effort.

It's all about the Family

In 2012 we are looking to keep our family together, to do that, we created the Alumni Program, our graduate program. The Alumni Program is for the seasoned runner, jogger and walker. It is meant for the person who may want to train for their own event and doesn't need a coach to set up a calendar for them. This program is priced at only $99 per season!

Not to be forgotten, we will also have our now famousCouch Potato to Half Marathoner Program as well. Our coaches would like this to be their biggest year ever, so we have dropped the prices significantly to $139. Now that the prices have dropped, bring your friends, family and co-workers.

THIS SPRING WE HAVE TWO RACES YOU CAN TRAIN FOR

This Spring we have 2 awesome races to train for at very discounted rates.

Option #1

Rockin Rabbit Half Marathon

April 7, 2012

For the past few years I have put on this event for various charities. In 2012 this race will be fully operated by a charity very near to my heart, Hope 4 Lives. This charity gives back 100%. The race and charity are run by Able Mcgee, a fellow Rockin Runner. Please help support this great charity and event. It is a beautiful run the day before Easter. This event is in Boulder City and runs along Lake Mead. This is a challenging run with great reward. You won't be disappointed.

A challenging first 4 miles, with a 700 foot gain and the rest has a 2000 foot drop to a small trail run on Historic Railroad tunnels. This run has a breath taking view of Lake mead. Run or walk the paved River Mountain Loop Trail until the end. This is a point-to-point run. To view the Map of the course go to: www.usatf.org Key work Rockin Rabbit Run. Not a runner? Not a problem both runs 1/2 Marathon and 5k are walker friendly.
