The Tuesday Taco Run are member-proposed group runs that brings together runners of all fitness levels for weekly miles and camaraderie. Despite its tantalizing name, the run does not always culminate in actual tacos; instead, the moniker reflects a lighthearted, welcoming spirit rather than a strict culinary destination. Participants gather each Tuesday to log miles, enjoy the fresh air, and connect with fellow pacing enthusiasts, proving that the real draw is the shared encouragement and active lifestyle.
For all you early risers, head to a local forest preserve on Thursday morning at 6 or 7 AM.
There is something magical about running at sunrise when most everyone else is just waking up. Get your run in early and feel energized the rest of the day!

Welcome to the FTRT Wednesday Night Track Workouts. In conjunction with our weekend long runs, these workouts aim to turn the casual runner into the competitive racer, and the competitive racer into a winner.
Participants tend to run long repetitions, fast but not too fast, with a tightly-controlled rest or interval period. The key to success in these workouts over the long term is to run them at a controlled pace, and not to race against yourself or other runners. Consistency, not spikes and burn-outs, is the key to success.

From mid-March to early-November, we meet at the Eisenhower Junior High School outdoor track for interval training. During winter, we meet at Xtra Mile Running Schaumburg store for Fartlek and hill workouts. Whether you are training for your first 5K or your 40th marathon, all runners are welcome to come train with us.
Please note that FTRT does not always have first dibs on the track and from time to time it is closed with little or no notice.
