We are happy to announce that we will be starting a Racing Team within our club with the goal of qualifying for 2024 Marathon Trials. BRC ELITE team will have both men and women on the team and our goal is to qualify as many runners we can in 2024 Trials.
The team is located in Palos Heights, Illinois. We have great trail system with many great trails available to us.
On both Men's and Women's sides we are looking for similar abilities of runners that would be able to train together on the workout days and provide benefit to each other.
On the Women side we have Jane Bareikis who has 2:37:30 Marathon and 1:14:14 Half Marathon.
Women's Standards for the Elite Team within last 1 year:
5km 17:00 and better
1/2 Half 1:17:00 and better
26.2 2:45 and better
Our main goal is to have a small group that can train together and help each other to achieve the high goals.

Mens Standards for the Elite Team within last 1 year:

Both groups will be coached by myself ( Arturs Bareikis and my wife Jane Bareikis is my assistant coach on Women's side. We will also both be on the team.
