What is MIT?

MIT was created in 2000 by a group of like-minded individuals who wanted to pursue their passion of running. Born out of that passion was a group of runners and walkers that would gather weekly to train together to help one another reach their half or full marathon goal. From those humble beginnings MIT has grown to become one of America’s foremost leaders in endurance training. Today MIT utilizes 45 dedicated coaches and trains runners and walkers of all levels of experience toward the successful completion of their goal race.  Marathoner In Training is not just for marathon training, whether your goal is a 5K, half or full marathon or even a multi-sport event, MIT will provide comprehensive training in a supportive atmosphere that will enable you to meet your goals and make plenty of friends along the way.

MIT promises to deliver:

1. Training schedules specifically tailored to your background and goals.
2. A support network that encourages beginners to take the plunge but offers veterans programs to graduate into.
3. Educational support that is second to none.
4. The involvement of OhioHealth that provides participants access to the latest thinking and learning in the areas of sports nutrition, injury prevention, runners diagnostics, heart rate guided training and other relevant topics to enhance performance.

Bundled around all of this is a social phenomenon that is MIT. This means that you can train alone or you can come to understand that happiness is not real if it is not shared.

The OhioHealth Alliance

OhioHealth is more than a health system it is a belief system. With over 16,000 associates and 17 facilities in central Ohio, OhioHealth is this regions premier health care resource.  OhioHealth has devoted significant resources into the growth of its Sports Medicine practice.
