February Newsletter

Welcome the shortest month of the year when the days slowly getting longer, and warmer, and in just a few short weeks, our evening runs will be in the (setting) sun again! This month also features a few more races including Run Wichita's Super Bowl Run on Sunday the 8th. This is a fun four mile (out and back) race, and a great way to get Super Bowl Sunday started. Other runs this month include the Couple Shuffle on Saturday the 7th, the Sweetheart 5K on Sunday the 15th, and the Wichita State Engineering 5K on Saturday the 28th.

Speaking of races, most of you know that we are hosting our own 5K on Saturday, April 18 at Tanganyika! This will, hopefully, become an annual event and the biggest, best 5K race in the area! If you did not know, Tanganyika will be expanding over the next few years with plans of adding a wildlife park with mini Jeeps and an adjoining hotel! How amazing would that be… having our 5K at a growing wildlife park and hotel rooms available for out of town guests! We need runners, volunteers, and sponsors to make this run shine. Please help in any way that you can, and as always, let us know if you have any questions.

Save the date! On Saturday February 21, Natural Wellness Physiotherapy will be hosting our Saturday morning run! In addition to donuts and coffee, NWP will offer free injury screenings and everyone that attends will be entered to win one of several prizes. All runners get injured from time to time and the wonderful trainers and doctors at NWP not only help those injuries heal much faster than normal, they can also help you avoid injuries in the future! And every TJ's family member gets discounts on their services.

Don't forget, your membership to TJ's Running is valid through June 30, 2026, so there is no need to renew your membership now. Starting around June 1 you will receive an email directly from runsignup on how to continue your membership with TJ's Running. However, if you have a friend, family member, colleague, etc. who is making a New Year's resolution to do more running or get in better shape in the coming year, we would love to have them join the family and they can do so at any time at runsignup.org/tjsrunning
