Training Program 

TNT run/walk coaches have designed three- to five-month training programs which prepare participants for the target marathons or half marathons. Participants will train and work directly with the coaches at weekly Saturday workouts. Coaches are also available throughout the week to answer training and fitness-related questions. 

The training program is designed and implemented by our professional run/walk coaches. It consists of daily workout schedules, team workouts on Saturdays, a fitness clinic which includes speakers from Gary Gribble's Running Store, Quest Perfomance Chiropractic, and our certified coaches. The program is designed to take runners/walkers from a beginning base and to build gradually over the course of the program.

Coaches

The TNT run programs offers a qualified and dedicated group of run/walk trainers. Our coaches were selected for their experience, professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm, as well as their devotion to the cause. All of our coaches have extensive coaching experience and have proven themselves in numerous athletic endeavors.

Mentors 

Mentors are past TNT participants who have successfully completed the training and fundraising program. The mentor will serve as a resource and peer advisor, encouraging team members throughout the training and fundraising season.

Honored Patients 

TNT members train and raise funds in honor of a local KC metro resident who has been affected by a blood-related cancer. Your honoree becomes your inspiration as you work toward goals that will better both of your lives. We provide each run participant with a wristband to wear throughout the season with names of personal and team honorees.
