About optional coaching texts
The Marathons (personal running coaching) may send
recurring coaching text messages (SMS) to the mobile number you provide —
only if you choose to opt in via the separate optional checkbox below
(never pre-checked). You may leave the box unchecked and still submit this form.
- Optional / skip anytime: SMS consent is not required to create an account, complete checkout, or use The Marathons. Leave the SMS box unchecked to decline texts and still continue — you can message your coach in the web app without SMS.
- Message types: training check-ins; plan and schedule updates; coach support; replies when you text about your coaching. Not marketing or promotional advertising blasts.
- Message frequency: Message frequency varies. Up to 10 messages per week.
- Rates: Message and data rates may apply.
- Opt out: Reply STOP to unsubscribe anytime.
- Help: Reply HELP for help, or email hello@themarathons.com.

(mobile numbers are not sold or shared with third parties/affiliates for their marketing).
New athletes can also choose SMS (or skip it) during
online onboarding.
