Assessment Races

In order to better coach you and offer personal training intensities, there are several assessment workouts scheduled throughout the training. One of these assessments will be done during a group workout and another will be done at the Cowtown Half (race entry required).  There will be no alternative group workout/assessment offered on the morning of the Cowtown Half. Participation in the Cowtown assessment is not required, although it is very helpful in preparing for a successful marathon.
