She Rocks! Volunteers Needed

She Rocks! Half Marathon, 5K and Kids Run is this Sunday and they need volunteers. Coach Amy will be manning an aid station at Lamar and Indian Creek Parkway. We'd love to have more PB runners join us. This event is raising money for the Hope House Women's Shelter in Lee Summit. For more details and to volunteer please contact us ASAP at kcrunning@hotmail.com.

Check out this local 5K benefiting those living in poverty in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
September 24th at 8:00 a.m. Our PB training run starts at 6:00 a.m. so if you aren't running too long, you may be able to hop over there for a fun run!

St. Louis Marathon - Chew and Choo

The St. Louis Rock and Roll Marathon is coming up!

There are still some business class seats available on the Missouri River Runner. You will want to make your refundable reservations soon to join PB runners on the train. Click here for details on the group trip. In the news recently, there is talk that the Missouri River Runner may be retired early October due to budget cuts. In that event, we will organize a group van!

If you are planning on joining us for the group trip, please contact Coach Amy at kcrunning@hotmail.com so we can include you in e-mail loops regarding pre-race dinner plans, travel updates and more.

Speed Work Tuesday Sept. 13th

Time to pick UP the pace with some speed work!

All PB runners welcome! If your race is later in the season you can join us for modified intervals or go for a run/walk around the park or along the trail.

Chase your interval workout with some good friends, beer and other yummy carb replacements at the Fox and the Hound following intervals.

Please RSVP to Coach Amy: kcrunning@hotmail.com by Tuesday morning if you plan to attend.
