Welcome to
Steele County Road Runners!
For all the runners in Steele County and its surrounding area, this is the place to run to on the internet for area running updates, club meetings, and advice!
With the area having its own 'Running Boom' with such races like the Fargo Marathon and all of its races, plus an increase of local towns having their own 5K races during their summertime festivals, more and more people are enjoying the sport of running.
The area is also rich in tradition with schools having strong running teams, such as Griggs County Central's cross-country & track teams, and Finley-Sharon-Hope-Page's track team, which have multiple regional titles and even state titles within the past decade. These programs have helped build a great interest in running within the youth of the area, and their parents and family members are catching the bug, too!
Upcoming Club Runs/Clinics:
Look for Club Runs to start in the spring of 2011.
If you have any ideas for topics to cover at a Running Clinic, send Coach Rick an email with your suggestions to Rick@ASAPWorkouts.com.
