CIM Charity Program
CALIFORNIA INTERNATIONAL MARATHON TRAINING
VOTE HERE FOR 2025 RUN LOCAL AWARDS!
Each year, Runnin’ for Rhett members take part in the California International Marathon as participants or our cheering squad. We’re excited to announce that in 2025, we have been chosen as a Charity Bib partner for CIM. When the event sells out, those who still want to participate can fundraise for local non-profits in exchange for their marathon bib.
We offer an extensive and exclusive training program for members and Charity Bib fundraising partners that begins in late July.
The program involves gradual mileage progressions over time to prevent injuries, four workshops, coached workouts (online or in person), training calendar, coach access, private social media group, discounts to local training races, specialty merch, and a Friday night Spaghetti Social!
