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. We typically do 5k, although longer and shorter options are 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. An optional social gathering will follow each trail run, featuring a nearby restaurant.
Hosted by Arianne & Jason Whittaker
