Wow... so many great races at Door County, Soldiers Field, Stewartville, Tacomo, and wherever you might have been!   -- Tapering has started for Med City... long runs are peaking for Grandmas...  -- Marathon and Half Marathoners are prepping right now for Lake Wobegone & Fargo and Green Bay!

With all this going on... don't forget about the week night opportunities to connect, train, recover, taper, press hard.. whatever you like!

  • Tuesday 5:30pm:  The track crew is hitting soldiers field, as a tune up for the TC 1 Mile!   It's a 1 mile time trial... followed by your choice of 400M repeats or hill repeats.  You can't go wrong with your pick, as they both will simply make you better!  
  • Tuesday 6pm:  TerraLoco continues the 5K's for local charities.. this week is the Grey Ribbon Run for Brain Tumor Awareness.  Just $5 and a chance to win some great prizes!
