Ice cream, leis, and a three-mile run made for a great way to wrap up Tuesday night.

Congratulations to Emily Faust and Greg Blomquist on winning $50 from Tryathletics. Thank you to Brian and the entire team at Tryathletics for hosting us and welcoming our group into the store.

A big thank you as well to Dr. Jeremy Maxwell and The Wellness Way Columbia for joining us and giving runners the opportunity to learn more about their services.

Despite the heat, the sun, and the hills, it was another great evening spent moving, connecting, and building community together.

Summer Youth Track Update

Due to high winds, a tornado watch, and thunderstorms during our scheduled meet time, today’s Summer Youth Track program is cancelled for safety reasons.

We will not be making up today’s meet.

Please hold off on requesting changes or additions until Friday, June 19, when we will share the Week 4 update.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.

Mixing things up this evening! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ We took the group run to a new starting spot tonight, heading out from Tryathletics! for a change of scenery.

We got to enjoy some beautiful, shaded miles right along the lake, though that sneaky little hill at the end definitely made us work for it! 😅

A huge thank you to Jeremy Maxwell for hanging out with us post-run and providing some much-needed soft tissue therapy. Keeping the crew healthy and ready for the next run! Nothing beats good miles and great company here in CoMo.

📸 Swipe to see the crew in action!

Free run. Register by July 2. If you want to purchase a shirt, orders are due June 15.

The 32nd annual Parley P. Pratt Freedom Run is approaching on Saturday, July 4th, 2026. Registration is open for both participants and volunteers on the website www.pppfreedomrun.com and is completely free. It's a great family event with both a 1-mile walk/run and a 5k run in Columbia. Either route is a great way to start your celebration of the 4th of July.

Week 1 is under wraps!

More than 250 kids joined us for an amazing opening night of the Columbia Track Club Summer Youth Track Program. The weather was perfect, the energy was high, and four program records went down — including records that had stood for 44, 38, and 35 years.

A huge thank you to our athletes, families, volunteers, and supporters who made the night run.

Records broken:
🏃 Girls 10–11 400m — Cari Slusher, 1:05.90
🏃 Girls 10–11 800m — Cari Slusher, 2:33.86
🏃 Girls 14–18 800m — Sage Allen, 2:32.91
🦘 Boys 8–9 Long Jump — Graysen Cummings, 10-06.50

Week 1 also helped us learn a lot with a new system. Results are now online, and we’re already making a few check-in and event-flow adjustments for next week to help every registered athlete get where they need to be. Thank you for your patience as our volunteers continue to improve the process each week.

Week 1 results: https://live.athletic.net/meets/74039

Ribbons that were not picked up will be available next week at the pavilion. We’ll also email families whose athletes earned awards. After Week 4, any remaining awards will be mailed out.

Three more weeks to go. See you next Wednesday!

Happy Global Running Day! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Fleet Feet in two places tonight? Yep! That’s how much they show up for the running community.

Fleet Feet Columbia MO does so much for Columbia Track Club, and we are incredibly thankful for the time, support, resources and energy they continue to give our club.

Tonight, you have two chances to connect with them:

First, if you have not registered yet, take the next 25 minutes and sign up for The Big Run that's happening TONIGHT!

And if you are joining us at the Summer Youth Track Program, Fleet Feet will also be there near the Colts tent. Stop by, say hi and thank them for everything they do for Columbia running.

Happy Global Running Day, Columbia! 🖤💛

A big thank-you to Pizza Tree for supporting the Columbia Track Club Summer Youth Track Program!

Pizza Tree is providing pizza for our volunteers each week, helping us take care of the people who make this program possible.

With nearly 300 kids, families, and volunteers joining us every Wednesday in June, support like this makes a real difference.

We also want families to know that registration is open for our Columbia Track Club Colts Cross Country. If you have questions, please feel free to say hi to Beth Marchbanks, who will be leading the Colts this year and will have a tent at Week 1 of tonight's program!

Thank you, Pizza Tree, for helping us create a fun, welcoming track experience for kids in our community!
