Here's this week's schedule!  

• Monday 6pm:  Gather at Beetles Bar & Grill on 2nd Street in Rochester.  We'll likely head downtown for some city running!  Of course we'll come back to relax and chat it up. 
• Tuesday 6pm:  The Trail Crew is heading to Millville.. this is always one of the favorite locations!  Meet at the ShopKo North parking lot (by the green house).. and carpool or Caravan to the event!  There are very few post run hangouts like Millville! 
• Tuesday 6pm:  TerraLoco continues the fun of weekly 5Ks.  These are low pressure (like no pressure events).   Always come back inside the store for a sip of water and possibly become a prize winner! 
• Wednesday 5:45pm:  Speed work is on the track in Byron.  Located behind the middle school at 601 4th St NW in Byron.   
• Reminder:  This is the same location for the 3rd Annual Donut Run to be held on Friday may 30th!  This is an event that has one goal in mind... Have Fun!  Check out the following link for more information as to how it works, and of course to register online.  http://rochestertrackclub.com/main.asp?SectionID=3&SubSectionID=28&ArticleID=558&TM=45898.39
