Men’s Four Miler Training Program

Hosted by the UVa Urology Department

WHEN: Questionnaires are usually available sometime in late August and the program kicks off in late September and runs until the first week of December.

WHERE: The group meets every Saturday morning throughout the fall at Lannigan Field (UVa track).

WHO MAY PARTICIPATE: Any male may join in, especially those who are very out of shape or have NEVER exercised. Last year 100 males participated ranging in age form 12-72. The novice group starts with 2 laps of a walk/run on the track and eventually works up to four miles of running! By the time the program is completed the participant’s paces range from 8 minutes/mile to 20 minutes/mile.

HOW TO SIGNUP: Any male may begin signing up in late August at The Ragged Mountain Running Shop or at the training program site once it begins in late September.

COST: The cost of the program is a $10 donation to the UVa Urology Department

COACH: Mark Lorenzoni has served as volunteer coach since the program started in 2004 and he is assisted by the fine folks from the Urology Department at UVa.
