Tuesday Track Night = your weekly chance to get in a good workout with a great group.

This week, join us for the following workout:

✅ Easy 10-minute warmup
✅ Run 2 sets of 2 min steady, 2 min tempo, 2 min hard, 2 min tempo and 2 min steady, with 3 min of jogging/walking between sets
✅ Easy 10-minute cooldown

For pace, think effort instead of a specific number: steady = about 7/10, tempo = 8/10 and hard = 9/10. Your pace is your pace—adjust as needed and make the workout work for you.

📅 Tuesday, August 25
⏰ 6:30 p.m.
📍 Waggener High School Track

Free and open to all paces and levels. Come run with us!

We know we just posted about BibBoards, but we’re a little obsessed with these.

Are you “Run Now, Read Later,” “I Don’t Sweat, I Sparkle,” or “Fine, I’ll Run But I’m Complaining the Whole Time”?

👇 Which one matches your race-day personality?

First visit. First fitting. Five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ron came into KCRS looking for a new pair of running/walking shoes and left with the right fit and a pretty good first impression.

From our foot-mapping “magic” pad to trying different shoes and getting his questions answered, this is exactly what we want a shoe fitting to feel like: easy, friendly, and enjoyable.

Ready for your own KCRS fitting? 👉 Stop in and let us help you find your next pair.

You don’t have to match pace to belong. 💙

That’s the best part of a strong running community: showing up, doing your thing, and still moving forward together.

👇 Tag someone you’re always glad to see on the run.

XC practice or fall training, either way, your car seat is about to see some things. 😅

Sprints Car Seat Towel Covers help keep sweat, mud and post-run mess off your seats, then toss right in the wash.

Perfect for XC athletes, parents on pickup duty, and runners logging fall training miles.

👉 Grab yours at KCRS before your next sweaty ride home.

Your race shirt deserves better than four new holes every time you toe the line.

BibBoards keep your bib secure without safety pins, magnets or damage to your favorite race-day gear. Just snap, lock and go.

Plus, with plenty of designs to choose from, you can add a little personality to your bib setup while you’re at it.

Next race on the calendar? 👉 Stop by KCRS and grab a set before race day.

For anyone whose training plan is 30% fitness and 70% avoiding responsibilities. 😂

The Sprints Running From My Problems Run Club hat just landed at KCRS, and somehow it feels less like a hat and more like a membership card.

👉 Come grab yours and wear it proudly on your next totally-not-avoidance run.
