The trails are in great shape! The pace is going to be slow and steady (not really sure about the steady part). The group will loop back to the parking lot a few times during the 3 hour event so you are welcome to join in at the beginning or at 8:30 or 9:30 and just show up and get on the trails and the chances are good you will run into the group of crazies.

Sunday 9-28 at 8:00am
Murphy-Hanerhan Park
Surf the Murph Location
If you want to pre run the course or at least parts of it, join us on Sunday morning at 8:00am in the main parking lot. We will grab some water, some food and a map and see what happens. The plan is to go slow for a couple hours; walk the big hills and run the rest of the course. The weather looks perfect and the Vikings don't play until later in the afternoon so you can still catch the game. Shaping up to be a great weekend of fun and fitness.

Join us for some fitness and fun; and what can be more fun than waffles after your fitness? We leave from Gear West at 8:30am and head to the Luce Line Trail. You can stay on the nice flat gravel path for as far as you like then spin around and head back. Or you can jump off the Luce Line about a half mile out onto some single track paths in the woods. There are usually groups doing both and even groups headed out for a long trail run of up to 10 miles. The perfect part of the Saturday event is; you get to pick you fitness and just remember go as far and as fast as you would like, but end up trying the great home made waffles when you are done. Stay and take a look around Gear West and ask questions about equipment if you would like. See you there!

Here we go kids. This week looks like a great week!
Tuesday Trails Lowry Nature Center
6:15pm
Well the secret is out. Tuesday's are a blast! Lowry Nature is great for all levels of runners and walkers and run/walkers. The trails are nice and wide, covered in wood chips and gravel. Sure there are a few bugs, but they gotta eat too. You can go out for a nice hike or a speedy turn on the trails. After the fitness is done, we head out together in a sweaty caravan to grab refreshments and refuel. It's a great way to meet new people and get your fitness on!
