JANUARY - DECEMBER
Traverse City Track Club presents the "Third Thursday" Trail Run Series, a series held on the third Thursday of the month at 6:00 p.m. (unless noted) on area trail systems with 5k and 10k options available for all paces and abilities. In winter months snowshoeing will also be an option depending on conditions.
Runners and walkers can join active friends to get off the roads and into the woods as a way to add variety to their training. Each session will include a brief member-led trail running Q&A before the start of each run. An optional social gathering will follow each trail run, featuring a nearby restaurant.
Hosted by Arianne Whittaker
