Who we are: We are a running club for distance runners. Runners interested in training for half and full marathons should consider us. As we enter our second decade, the North Shore Distance Running Club has successfully trained hundreds of runners to run their best marathon or half marathon.  Our President and a Board member are RRCA Certified Running Coaches.  Cumulatively, our members have completed well over 700 marathons. This vast wealth of knowledge and experience has been recognized by CARA, who has chosen to partner with the NSDRC for their Winter and Summer Marathon Training Programs. We conduct training programs for half and full marathons year round, targeting a local race in the spring and in the fall. We have runners training from 8 minutes per mile to over 12 minute miles. Of course, you are welcome to join us for the social and fitness benefits, even if you aren't planning on running a marathon or half marathon.

We are currently in our off-season, until June 9th.  We will then begin training for a fall full or half marathon.  Training programs are available for the Chicago, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, and NY Marathons, along with the Chicago Half.  During the off-season, we meet at the parking lot for Shelter C in Old School Forest Preserve.  Old School is located in central Lake County near Libertyville.  The entrance is located on St. Mary’s Road, just south of Route 176 and north of Route 60. View on Google Maps.  We begin each run at 6:45 am every Saturday.  There is no prescribed mileage during the off-season; members may run anywhere from 5 to 15 miles along the Des Plaines River Trail.  Once we begin our formal training season, there will be specified distances depending on experience and target race, along with pace groups from 8:00 minutes per mile to 12.  Of course, you are welcome to join us for the social and fitness benefits, even if you aren't planning on running a marathon or half marathon.   If you would like to find out more about our group, please review the FAQs and Documents under the Resource section or click on the ‘Contact Us’ tab.

Announcements

Off season training - published: Monday, April 30, 2012
We will start off season training on May 5 from Old School. To keep things simple, all runs from Old School will start at 6:45, the same time that we’ll start them when we begin fall marathon training.
 
End of winter season party - published: Monday, April 30, 2012
After an offseason run on May 19, we will hold our end of winter season party at Panera in Lake Bluff. At that time, we’ll give out the long sleeved NSDRC shirts from this season. This date is tentative as we still need to confirm it with Panera.  If you joined us for the winter session, there is no need to rejoin for the summer. Our membership is annual.
