Pine to Prairie Running Club

Pine to Prairie Running Club Bringing together runners of the Pine to Prairie area of northwest Minnesota (Bemidji to Fosston & surrounding area) — Click "About" to read more about us.

This is a group of people who love to run, like to run, or just want to try running, in the Pine to Prairie area of NW Minnesota! Running together makes us feel more connected to each other, helps us to learn more about running, provides accountability, and helps us to become faster and/or stronger runners! Before this club formed, area runners were disconnected from each other, coming together in

a group only when there are road races. We want to promote running as a great exercise option, and use this opportunity to become stronger with numbers! The Club will welcome runners and joggers of all ability types, from seasoned competitors to those who can't yet run continuously for more than a few minutes. The beauty of this opportunity is that it will help us all to get better and provide camaraderie! We will be running one to two times a week. Locations may vary between Bemidji and Fosston. The usual times will be:

- Tuesday afternoons, usually 4:15 during ST and 5:30 during DST. * **
- Saturday mornings, anywhere from 7:00 to 10:00, depending on the time of year. * **

* Stay-tuned to the Page for specific times & locations.
** We begin running approximately five minutes after the posted meeting time. Any cancelations of run gatherings will be announced in-advance when possible on the Page, unless weather forces cancelation with no notice. There will be no pressure to run any particular pace. The group or group leader(s) may decide to have one of the days be a harder run or possibly a track workout group, but don't let it keep you from coming! The more people we can have across the entire spectrum of paces, the better! Going along with that, everybody is encouraged to run the distance they are comfortable with running. This group is here to promote great running and make us better, not to foster injury! Prior to each one, a brief discussion may be posted on the Wall or in the Notes about what type of run/workout we might do. If severe and/or dangerous weather should ever rear its head and pose a threat to our run gatherings, a cancelation notice will be posted on this page, possibly with only a couple hours' or less warning, depending on conditions. If there is no cancelation notice, you can just use your own judgement about whether or not you want to come, especially if driving is hazardous.
