TEAM NAM AND RACING

Team NAM trains participants to run marathons and half marathons but primarily together as a team for the The Woodlands Marathon and Half Marathon and to help raise funds to support the good work of the Northwest Assistance Ministries.  Team NAM also prepares participants of the NAM 5k Challenge.

Team NAM members have also run other races, including Virginia Beach, Chicago, San Antonio, Dallas, Las Vegas, Huntsville, Disney World, Austin, New Orleans, Kuala Lumpur, Ford Ironman Arizona, Marine Corps, New York, St. George, Tyler, Toronto, Cowtown, California International, Seattle Seafair, and Boston.

While training schedule will assume everyone will run either the The Woodlands Marathon or Half Marathon, we will continue to support members running other races, which at this time include New York 11/11, Houston 1/12, Austin 2/12, Boston 4/12, and a number of half marathons.  In essence, we can accommodate any possible racing schedules or goals.

Team NAM has a standing Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim run for the spring/fall, undertaken whenever there is sufficient Team member interest.  The double crossing ultra event starts from the South Rim to the North Rim and then back again.  Depending on final routing selection, whether from South Kaibab or Bright Angel, total distance of this endurance run may vary from 45 to 48 miles, with total elevation gain and loss at some 13,000 feet.  Single crossing would be undertaken when two groups of Team members simultaneously traverse the Canyon, starting from both the South Rim and the North Rim.
