August Newsletter
Welcome to August! Hard to believe we are just over two months away from the Prairie Fire races! And that also means we only have one more month, okay maybe two more months of intense heat training. While running in high humidity isn’t fun when you’re doing it, it does pay dividends during your fall races, and that’s a promise.
This is going to be an exciting month with two sponsor hosted runs, and a special Saturday field trip to the Kingman hills! On Saturday the 2nd we will start and finish our run at Scheels where they are having a BIG back to school sale, and free hot dogs, though you have stick around until 11 a.m. to have some.
On Saturday the 16th we will begin and end our run at Natural Wellness Physiotherapy with coffee, donuts, some giveaway prizes, and FREE injury screenings with Dr. Courtney and the other awesome people at NWP.
And on Saturday the 23rd we will carpool to Kingman County for a fun run through the hills, stay tuned for more information.
Have you signed up yet for the Race 4 Freedom 5K on Saturday September 6? What are you waiting for!?! Use code TJ2025 for $5.00 off your entry fee, and don’t forget to join team TJ’s Running when you register… let’s show this city who’s the boss and assemble the BIGGEST team ever! Well, at least the biggest team this year.
Most of you already know this, but for those of you that have been hiding underneath a rock, Coach Jake, Coach Tony, and Tyler Patterson will be competing in the Great World Race in a little over three months!
The final marathon takes place in Miami on Friday November 21, and we would LOVE to see as many family members at the finish line as possible! Our good friend Jennifer White, and the team at ICT S.O.S. will be putting together a travel package so everyone can fly out and back together and stay at the same hotel where there will be a pArTy to celebrate Jake, Tony, and Tyler’s achievements, and celebrate raising money and awareness for Wichita’s BEST charitable organization!
🎉 Happy Birthday!
