How do I choose the right race distance at GCM?
So, you’re thinking about signing up for a race. The most important first step for success, whether you are signing up for the first time, or chasing a PB … is to ensure you’ve selected the race distance that’s right for you.

Often, runners take on a workload that’s too intense or a distance they’re unprepared for, leading to injuries or burnout. Panic training—doing too much too soon or cramming closer to race day—can be especially risky.
