Project 1:59
Run a sub two-hour half marathon this season with training tools and a community from Strava.
Join the Project 1:59 Club on Strava. You’ll find a buzzing community of runners like you with a shared goal, which means ample opportunities for group training runs, gear and course advice, fun photos, moral support, racing partners and some good-spirited trash talkin’.
The Project 1:59 Challenge is your chance to put that goal to work. All challenge participants will receive weekly training emails from two-time Olympian Kara Goucher. The challenge runs through the end of May to give you time to reach your goal.
