Trail Running Weekend 9-27 and 9-28

Two Long Runs, Back to Back
Saturday 9-27 and Sunday 9-28

Join in on part of each, or both!

Saturday 9-27 at 7:30am
Lowry Nature Center in Victoria

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.

The Week Ahead 9-22

Tuesday Trail Night
9-23 6:15pm
Lowry Nature Center
We meet in the parking lot of the Lowry Nature Center at 6:15pm before heading out for a ramble through the woods and meadows. The trails are in great shape with new wood chips installed and all the brush cut back. There will be routes of 3-4-5 and 6 miles. The nicest part of Lowry is how it is designed; the loops all come back to the center. No matter what speed you travel, you are bound to run into someone from the group. We all go for about an hour or so and then the fun begins!

Thursday Team RED Metro Bootcamp
9-25 6:00pm
Snap Fitness Maple Plain
Join us for some fun at the Maple Plain Snap Fitness. We do an interval training boot camp style group that includes; treadmill, climbmill, Lateral X, TRX, dumbbells (not only the members), and tons of sweat! We go all out for about an hour! It truly is a lot of fun!!

Join us at Lowry Nature Center for a fun trail fitness event! We meet in the parking lot at 6:15pm and then head off onto the trails.

Bring a head lamp if you have one because by the end of the night you may need it. After the fitness (you can take your head lamp off) we will find some fun some place (we always do)!!

Tuesday 9-2
Trail Fun

Lowry Nature Center in Victoria is a great place for a trail run/walk/hike. It's got gravel and wood chip trails, a few springy bridges, a couple hills and tons of really pretty views. Plus best of all; on Tuesday evenings the place is filled with a bunch of fitness people out there getting their sweat on! Join us for a truly fun time. You can go for 2-3-4 or 6 miles and see plenty of wildlife. Afterwards we tend to head into town and take over a local place for a few laughs.
