Train for the Vermont City Marathon with Cadoo
The Vermont City Marathon is a Marathon/Half in Burlington, VT on May 24, 2026. Signing up is the easy part — showing up for every training session until race day is where most people fall off. Cadoo fixes that by turning your build-up into a money-motivated game: stake money on hitting each session, hit your goal and get paid, miss it and your stake goes to the athletes who showed up.

Your Distance Countdown training game
For an event like this, Cadoo runs a Distance Countdown game — a 16-week plan pitched at difficulty 7/10. It counts down the long runs to race day so every week has a clear, escalating target. Every rep, mile, and minute is verified (reps by CadooVision's AI camera check, distance and steps via Apple Health or Google Health Connect), so the money only moves on work you actually did.
Built for training crews like #RunStreak, #PaceGoal, #MileageClub.
