The Loppet Running Club is the Twin Cities' first trail running-based fitness club. The training group meets on Monday evenings at Theodore Wirth Park for runs on trails rather than asphalt roads. It's a great way to prepare for the Salomon Half Marathon and Finn Sisu 5K.

The Loppet Running Club offers:

• Half marathon training - prepare for 10-15 mile races in the fall
• Trail-specific training - more interesting and easier on the body than running on pavement
• A chance to explore the trails of Theodore Wirth Park
• Training tips from experienced and knowledgeable leaders
• Preparation for the Salomon Half Marathon and Finn Sisu 5K
• No more long, lonely runs - train with a team!
• Special Loppet Run Club Team t-shirt

Details:

• Mondays, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. July 12, 2010 - September 18, 2010 at Wirth Beach
• Saturdays 8:00 a.m.
  
• Registration price is $50.00
