Trail Run Program This program will continue through May 23, 2013. It is designed to provide exposure to trail running, and to familiarize you for participation in the XYZ/Gold Cup Series race, Trail Run Xtreme 12k, scheduled for Memorial Day, May 27th.The workouts will consist of a warm up, practice running on the trails, and cool down. We will emphasize the proper technique for trail running on trails. The degree of technicality of various trails, trail shoes vs road shoes, nutritional needs, temperature running, strategic running and race goal planning will also be discussed. Most workouts will take place at Imagination Glen Park in Portage, IN. There will also be a few workouts on the Indiana Dunes and Illinois trails. You must be a Calumet Strider member, medically fit to run trails of a minimum distance of 7.5 miles, and have trained and run in a 5k race or longer to participate in this program. If you have any personal drink or food requirement bring that with. This is not a beginner running program. It is designed for a runner who is interested in trying trail running. We will maintain an easy pace on the trails.

Calumet Region Striders sponsors the Gold Cup Series.
The Calumet Region Strider Gold Cup Series has become one of the most prestigious race
circuits in the area. We are very proud of our club's involvement with
this continuously successful series aptly named the GOLD CUP. The Gold
Cup Series consists of 28 or more officially
designated road races. A person may run in all of the races if desired.
However, only a person's best finishes will count in the overall
scoring. In order to compete in the Gold Cup Series, Striders over the
age 18 must complete at least 10 Gold Cup Races, ages 15-18 must
complete at least 7 Gold Cup
races, and ages 14 or younger must complete at least 5 Gold Cup
races to be eligible for an award. XYZ TRAIL RACE SERIES HOW TO BECOME A SPONSORED RACE Would you like the Calumet Region Striders to promote your race in our Instep Newsletter? We can do that but there is a process that needs to be followed. Find all the information here:
