Years ago after growing frustrated, realizing my marathon times weren't getting any faster, I decided I would try running farther, which led me to trail running. Moving from road to trail reenergized my running as it was more like play than work running through the woods, tiptoeing over rocks, roots and puddles. Trails introduced me to a whole new world of running. A world more focused on enjoying the experience than obsessing over my watch or running journal. So when we opened GPRC one of our desires was to bring a trail series to NE Kansas, a series of varying distances, so even the beginning runner, can easily and confidently enjoy the sport. Across the country trail running is growing faster than any other segment of running, as thousands of runners are experiencing the physical advantages while enjoying the natural beauty of running trail. So if your running needs a shot of adrenaline or you just want to try something new, join us at Lake Perry this summer and enjoy being a kid again.
