​COACH MARK WELCOMES ALL TEAM PAWS CHICAGO RUNNERS!

Welcome to TPC and my training program.
I look forward to sharing my 47+ years of running and coaching experience with YOU!
Especially if you are a first time Marathoner.
We have a group run every Saturday morning.
We don't go far or fast but this is important base training.
My official Marathon training program starts on Saturday, June 5th making it a 20 week program.
