Long runs are the staple of any running plan. They are awesome in themselves, but are even better in good company.

While Fast Track has always had self-organized long runs among runners of similar paces, this year we are bringing everyone together at Team Long Runs!

Weekend Group run from Deer Grove West.

Post-run there will be a breakfast gathering at Jelly Cafe - Palatine, 795 W Dundee Rd, Palatine, IL 60074
