ABOUT WIZARD RUN TRAINING PLANS

The Wizard Run might be the most magical group of races in the United States. Not only do they have wizard-themed fun before, after, and along the race course, but also they enourage participants to wear their finest costumes from wizard hats to robes.

There are a plethora of themed races today. Many focus on holidays like turkey trots and shamrock runs and others have created “big brands” like Color Run or Corporate Challenge. We can’t think of a race that is themed with more whimsy and authenticity than the Wizard Run, a group of 10 races including one in Des Moines, Iowa. Race organizers call it a magical journey through Des Moines with spellbinding sights and sounds along the way!

With a custom training plan, runners can be confident to hit their goals in the 1mi, 5k, or “Chosen One Challenge” Des Moines Wizard Runs. This could mean finishing the race with a smile, setting your personal record or even trying to win the race. We are here to help you and know you will have a great time at the race with proper training! Make your running calendar more magical with a great race from our friends at Wizard Run.

Note: If you are partaking in the Chosen One Challenge, please note in the “Race Name” field of our runner questionnaire.

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.
