It's the second year of the Chester Park Trail Run 5k and it happens this Friday night at 6:30.

The trio has participated in every single race since the start in 1977 and we chatted with them all about the incredible milestone.

The Insane Inflatable 5k is this Saturday in Superior, and you can still register to be a part of it.  It's always good to have a good playlist ready to go to keep your energy up, so I've put together a list of some of the best, upbeat, current hits for you!

Ok, you got to be able to laugh at this video.  Cathy, who runs half marathons all the time, found this funny as well.  With social media these days, I'm sure you've ran into posts about friends who bring you step by step through their marathon training and races.  Watch the video to have a good chuckle.

Thousands of Grandma's Marathon racers packets were stuffed at the Curling Club this week thanks to the volunteer hours and energy of students from the Lakeview Christian Academy.  However, this year was a little light on packet material, here's why.

While I was a lifeguard and taught Red Cross certified swimming lessons in the Wrenshall School pool, I was not a great swimmer in a lake.  Especially Lake Superior!  However, if that's your thing, here's a new challenge you may not know about.  The Apostle Island Relay Swim!

Let the 2015 races begin! The Saint Fennessy 4K is a very fun event so you should register right away because only the first 500 people to register get in.

You're invited to join ESPN Radio 560 WEBC AM this July 4th starting at 11 am central time to hear the exciting broadcast the way it was presented on June 21st. Hear the record being broken all over again.

Gina Lamb was the inspiration for her and her husband to get involved with IWA.  She will be competing this weekend at the Moose Lake Park in the first ever IWA female oval race at the Moose Lake Watercross Cold Water Challenge.  You don't want to miss a minute of the high speed action!  Learn more about Gina (audio) and watch her race (video)!

My husband and I have been training for Grandma's Half Marathon which is a 13.1 mile race.  One might say "you're running a distance race, what is a 5K going to do for you"?  LOTS!  It helps with speed.  Every race is a race against the clock, so while building stamina is important in a half marathon, so is speed.  We call it a tempo run and a 5K is the perfect way to get your tempo run

Grandma's Marathon caps the William A. Irvin 5K at 2,000 runners, a 100 runner increase from last year.  Will you be part of the pack?  Besides the Whippersnapper Races, this is the kick-off to Grandma's Marathon weekend.  WAY more than 2,000 people register for a bib number for this race, so mark your calendars for March 13, that's when registration opens for this popular race!

You can do it!  If you are looking for a goal that will provide a full body workout with a scenic view than the Great Lakes Marathon Series is a challenge you should consider.  Grandma's Marathon is now one of the 25 races!  You've GOT this!
