ABOUT MONUMENT AVENUE 10K TRAINING PLANS

Since the year 2000, Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia, has hosted the Monument Avenue 10K in March. Today, over 25,000 people gather for what is now one of the largest 10K races in the United States. Custom Training Plans worked with athletic trainers to design Monument Avenue 10K training plans that are not only designed for the course, but also tailored to your fitness level. Every one of our Monument Avenue 10K training programs incorporates cross-training, mobility exercises, and strength training in addition to running workouts, helping you take a well-rounded approach to your Monument Avenue 10K preparation.

Monument Avenue 10K Training Plan

The Monument Avenue 10K is run almost entirely on Richmond’s famous Monument Avenue. It is a pancake-flat course with just three turns during the entire 10K, making it an equally great place to run your first 10K as it is to shoot for a new PR. The out-and-back course is lined with beautiful old homes, many of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In the middle, the grassy median is filled with bands, cheer squads, and other local entertainment. Near the 7K mark, the race passes the monument erected in honor of Arthur Ashe, a Richmond native, tennis star, and champion of civil rights. Monument Avenue is a race that’s well-suited for all runners, especially when you choose a CTP Monument Avenue 10K training plan to help you prepare.

When you train for the Monument Avenue 10K with Custom Training Plans, you get workouts that enable you to train safely. Our training plans are designed to increase your speed and endurance so you can take advantage of the flat, fast course. A CTP Monument Avenue 10K training plan can help you reach the finish at Franklin and Shafer feeling accomplished.

Our method

  1. Certified Coaches

    With the expertise of USATF certified coaches and physical therapists, we built an advanced model to weigh the effects of runner-specific variables on training outcomes.

  2. Custom Race Profile

    We analyzed unique characteristics of hundreds of races across the country to build a “race profile” into our model that accounts for elevation gain, altitude, time of year, and more.

  3. Training Plan Model

    Our model generates a unique training plan for you and your race, and all plans are reviewed by a coach and hand-tweaked before they make their way to you.
