Minneapolis Running has Retired

After six glorious years, Minneapolis Running has been retired. Between a cross-country move and four young kids, our priorities have shifted to new opportunities and new projects. We want to thank the readers, contributors, and sponsors for all the support along the way. Keep running and remember, you’re probably faster than you think you are!

Let’s Talk about Winter Running

, ,

Minnesotans love to brag about our cold runs. If it’s not at least 10 below, it’s not real winter running. For some, that’s crazy and the thought of getting outside from December through early March is pure insanity.

Sometimes misery needs company. Since winter running will be with us for awhile still, join us tonight, Sunday February 9 at 9:00 p.m. CST for a live tweet chat as we talk about winter running. From what to wear to where to run, there are lots of topics to chat about.

Details

  • When: Sunday, February 9, 2014, 9:00 p.m. CST.
  • Where: On twitter (details here). Follow the hashtag “#mplsrunning”
  • Who: Anyone who wants to talk about running!

We hope to see you then!
