Together.

A team-oriented club for a diverse group of runners, all seeking the same thing: to get better, together.

Our mission

SDP is a team-oriented running development program, built around weekly quality workouts and personal goals, for a diverse group of runners seeking improvement.

Right now

What the club looks like today

What the club looks like today is a Tuesday workout, together. There's room for anyone to show up and get better. We meet year-round on Tuesdays, and the workouts are built around whatever the club is training toward that season.

Some seasons that's a shared marathon build aimed at races like Chicago or Boston; other seasons it's a push toward Bloomsday, Chuckanut, or a trail season on the bluffs. The focus shifts, but the Tuesday session doesn't.
