Winter training is coming to an end. That means race season is finally here. Here is your TO DO list for April...

5. Get in for your pre-race Active Release Technique (ART) with CoachAmyPT.

RTP Group Pic and Cheer Team

RTP 2015 Finish 

RTP racers and cheerleaders, meet your RRKC friends before the race at 7:00 a.m. on the grassy slope of Ward Parkway and Summit St which is near Burns and McDonnell 9400 Ward Pkwy. 

We will be taking the picture promptly at 7:00 a.m. so that RTP racers can warm up for the race and hit the porta-potty for one last pit stop! 

Those planning to cheer, please contact Coach Amy. 

A Few Spots Left!

There a few spots remaining in the Running from Head to Toe Clinic this coming Sunday!  

This clinic is for veteran runners and those newer to the sport. The goal is for each of you to leave with a few nuggets to work on that will help YOUR running - wherever you are in that journey.   We will be focusing on form, efficiency and injury prevention.

When: Sunday March 26, 2017

Where: Roe Park (about 105th and Roe - directions).  You'll see a pavilion when you pull in with picnic tables - we'll meet there.

Time: 7:30 - 9:30 AM - note, we will start at 7:30 so please be there a few minutes early to get checked in

Registration is required. Register HERE. 

Speed Work Start Location Change AGAIN

Check out the start location for this week HERE.

Speedwork Location CHANGE March 14th

ATTENTION speedwork folks! Coach Amy ran the blacktop trails today and they are too slippery for speed. We are moving our location to Indian Woods Middle School. Meet in the parking lot North side of building. 9700 Woodson Dr. 66207. Just East of Lamar. Hill work will be on the road where there is more traction and less risk of injury. 

Saturday Group Run - Weather Update

It is looking like the snow/ice/sleet is going to hold off until the end of our run on Saturday, but it will be cold! So dig out those layers, tights and handwarmers. If we do need to cancel the run, we will reschedule for Sunday, however the course distance will be shortened.
