Leading up to race day, TBR Dream Runners enjoy free BULL CIRCLES (running talks) and BULL SESSIONS (running clinics) to provide you with essential information and proper training for the marathon.
All Bull Circles and Bull Sessions are free of charge and open to the public. No pre-registration required.
IMPORTANT: Schedules are subject to change. Any modifications will be reflected immediately on this page. Registered runners will be informed via email and social media.
For Bull Circles: All Bull Circle running talks are held live online. Runners who opted in for the e-newsletter will receive an email invite to register for each webinar.
For Bull Sessions: While hydration is fully covered on race day, we encourage BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) at our Bull Sessions. Water and Gatorade will be on hand, but availability isn’t guaranteed. We encourage runners to practice self-sufficiency. Arrive at least 30 minutes before the run. You may leave bags with our staff, but please keep valuables at home. Organizers are not liable for any loss. For parking info, see below.
