Our weekly trail fun run continues this Saturday beginning at 7:30 a.m. in Plamann Park.  We meet in the parking lot located about a 1/2 mile in from the main entrance at the top of the big hill. Everyone is welcome to run as long or short as they wish. The plan is to get off the roads for a day, build some off-road fitness, and hopefully get a little muddy. We hope you can join us!

Plamann Park is located off Broadway Drive between Meade Street and Ballard Road in North Appleton.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

The on course energy gel for this year's Fox Cities Marathon is Carb Boom.  Carb Boom delivers 22-25 grams of complex carbohydrates with only 2-4 grams of Carb_Boomsimple sugars.  Each of the seven different flavors contain the essential electrolytes, sodium and potassium.  What really makes Carb Boom special is they use real fruit purees and concentrates for sweetening.


The Fox Valley Running Co. carries each of the Carb Boom flavors so you can try them during your training for the half or full marathon.
