Saturday training runs will
continue informally through mid-January when our Winter/Spring
session starts from Drake University. To keep up on the latest
starting times and locations add yourself to our eMail training
list by dropping us a note at Training@CapitalStriders.org.
 Join
us on Saturday mornings for our Summer/Fall Training Runs
- this year sponsored by the IMT/Des
Moines Marathon.
Whether you're building a base for any of the numerous fall
marathons, preparing for a race of a shorter distance, or
just want to meet fellow runners and share the great outdoors
- this is the place to do it. Runs will range from 3 to 20
miles; for any pace of runner.
Location
All runs will start at Gray's
Lake, on Fleur Drive, just south of downtown. We'll be
starting from the parking lot on the far southeast corner
of the lake. Take the main entrance off of Fleur Drive and
follow the road past the main lot, past the beach to the far
parking lot. Check out this satellite
map for a better picture.
Runs will use Gray's Lake, Water Works Park, The Bill Riley
Trail, and neighborhood streets north of Greenwood Park. Maps
of that day's route will be provided each Saturday.
Starting Time
All runs will start at 7:00 a.m.
