After our usual two month hiatus, it's time for the Saturday Morning Training Run series to begin again! Time not just to run, but to run with a community -- the Capital Striders community.

Our Saturday Morning Training Run series includes water provided along the route each week and the company of fellow runners to keep you going, swap stories, and share advice. This training group is designed to prepare runners of all skill levels for the Spring racing season. Whether you’re training for Drake, Dam to DSM or a Spring Marathon, maintaining a base or just want to meet fellow runners, this training group is for you. All paces are welcome, encouraged and will be supported along the route.

All runs will start at Meredith Hall on the Drake University Campus. The building is usually open so we can wait inside and use the restrooms - and stretch/cool down inside after you run. (Please be courteous if any classes or other events are taking place in the building.)

Runs beginning promptly at 7:30am - changing to a 7:00am start time in March. Try to arrive a little early to sign a 2020 waiver. Parking is available in the large lot in front of the building, free of charge. Maps of each weeks routes will be posted in advance in the Capital Striders weekly email newsletter, and copies provided at the start.

Special thanks to Fitness Sports for sponsoring and supporting the Winter/Spring Training Series!
